“Long Story Short,” the Netflix animated series from “BoJack Horseman” creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg, has found its voice cast.
Lisa Edelstein, Paul Reiser, Ben Feldman, Abbi Jacobson, Max Greenfield, Angelique Cabral, and Nicole Byer will all voice characters in the series, with Dave Franco and Michaela Dietz set as recurring guest stars. Netflix also revealed the comedy series will debut on Aug. 22.
“Long Story Short” was originally announced in Aug. 2024. The official logline states the show is “about one family, over time. Jumping through the years, we follow the Schwooper siblings from childhood to adulthood and back again, chronicling their triumphs, disappointments, joys, and compromises.”
Bob-Waksberg is the writer, executive producer, and showrunner on the series. Noel Bright and Steven A. Cohen will executive produce for Tornante Television. Lisa Hanawalt is supervising producer and will design original art for the series. Corey Campodonico and Alex Bulkley will serve as co-executive producers for animation studio ShadowMachine. ShadowMachine will produce out of their LA animation studio.
Since “BoJack,” Bob-Waksberg co-created the Amazon animated series “Undone” and served as a writer and executive producer on the animated series “Tuca & Bertie,” which was created by Hanawalt and was also produced by Tornante and ShadowMachine. The latter show originally debuted on Netflix before moving to Adult Swim for its final two seasons.
“BoJack Horseman” was Netflix’s first original adult animated series. It ran for six seasons at the streamer and developed a strong following and critical praise during its run. It was nominated twice for the Emmy Award for outstanding animated program. Will Arnett voiced the title character, with Aaron Paul, Amy Sedaris, Alison Brie, Paul F. Thompkins, and character actress Margo Martindale also part of the voice cast.
