Netflix has unveiled a first-look image for its upcoming adult animated series from BoJack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg. Long Story Short will premiere sometime in 2025.
The first-look Long Story Short image arrives via the What’s New on Netflix X (formerly known as Twitter) account, showcasing the main characters in Bob-Waksberg’s upcoming series. Long Story Short‘s synopsis reads, “Long Story Short is an animated comedy about a family over time. It’s about the shared history, the inside jokes, the old wounds. If you’ve ever had a mother, father, sibling, partner, or child, this is the show for you — and by the way, would it kill you to call them?”

Led by Bob-Waksberg, Long Story Short brings back the creative team behind Netflix’s immensely popular BoJack Horseman. The creator will reunite with Michael Eisner’s The Tornante Company and ShadowMachine for the new series, for which Bob-Waksberg will serve as writer, showrunner, and executive producer. “It is legitimately a thrill and an honor to be back doing what I love most; drafting enthusiastic pull quotes for press releases to Hollywood trade publications. Who says you can’t go home again?” The Long Story Short helmer humorously stated in a press release.
Long Story Short will have Lisa Hanawalt (BoJack Horseman, Tuca & Bertie) as the supervising producer and the original art designer. Noel Bright and Steven A. Cohen (BoJack Horseman, Tuca & Bertie, Undone) will executive produce for Tornante Television. ShadowMachine (BoJack Horseman, Tuca & Bertie, Pinocchio) will produce Long Story Short, while Corey Campodonico and Alex Bulkley will serve as co-executive producers.
