Trailer For BOJACK HORSEMAN Creator's New Animated Series LONG STORY SHORT
If you've been craving the emotional gut-punches and existential laughs that BoJack Horseman delivered, creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg is back with a brand-new animated series that looks to pick up right where your soul left off.
Netflix has just dropped the first teaser for Long Story Short, a 10-episode animated comedy about a dysfunctional family called the Schwoopers.
Long Story Short is “an animated comedy from the creator of BoJack Horseman about one family, over time," Netflix explains. "Jumping through the years, we follow the Schwooper siblings from childhood to adulthood and back again, chronicling their triumphs, disappointments, joys, and compromises.”
The show is being billed as “a comedy for anyone who has ever loved or hated their family.” So basically, all of us.
In classic Bob-Waksberg fashion, the teaser trailer features siblings fighting in the back seat, and uses it to explore the passage of time, memory, and how some things, especially family dynamics, never really change.
It opens with young Schwooper kids bickering like only siblings can, before fast-forwarding to their adult versions... still fighting in the same absurd way. That time-hopping trick is the series' whole deal.
The voice cast includes, Ben Feldman as Avi Schwooper, Abbi Jacobson as Shira Schwooper, Max Greenfield as Yoshi Schwooper, Michaela Dietz as Hannah Schwooper, Lisa Edelstein as Naomi Schwartz, Paul Reiser as Elliott Cooper, Angelique Cabral, Nicole Byer, and Dave Franco round out the ensemble
Long Story Short premieres August 22 on Netflix. So mark your calendars and prep your inner child for another round of animated therapy.
