Raphael Bob-Waksberg, the mind behind *BoJack Horseman*, is set to launch a new animated comedy on Netflix. If it’s reminiscent of *BoJack*, we should anticipate a blend of humor and emotional richness.
Entitled *Long Story Short*, Bob-Waksberg’s latest series delves into the animated family sitcom realm. The trailer presents the Schwooper siblings: Avi, Shira, and Yoshi, brought to life by sitcom icons Ben Feldman, Abbi Jacobson, and Max Greenfield. The show shifts between their childhood and adult years, showcasing their victories and struggles.
The initial trailer unveils the Schwoopers’ tumultuous yet familiar family dynamics, featuring game evenings that go awry and squabbles in the backseat. It also hints at an unusual amount of fire and a surprising moment where Shira requests Avi to act as her partner’s sperm donor during a school Christmas performance.
For those interested in *Long Story Short* and Bob-Waksberg’s work, there’s additional exciting news. The series brings together Bob-Waksberg with fellow *BoJack* collaborators, such as supervising producer Lisa Hanawalt, executive producers Noel Bright and Steven A. Cohen, along with co-executive producers Corey Campodonico and Alex Bulkley.
Moreover, Netflix has preemptively renewed *Long Story Short* for a second season, prior to its debut, ensuring that fans will get more of the Schwoopers.
*Long Story Short* also features Lisa Edelstein, Paul Reiser, Angelique Cabral, Nicole Byer, Dave Franco, and Michaela Dietz. The show is set to premiere on Netflix on August 22.
