Netflix Renews Raphael Matthew Bob-Waksberg's Animated Comedy 'Long Story Short' Ahead of Premiere
Show renewals can be a tough nut to crack in the entertainment industry, with various factors influencing a series' fate. However, Netflix has surprised many by renewing Raphael Matthew Bob-Waksberg's upcoming animated comedy, Long Story Short, even before its debut season hits the streaming platform. The show is set to premiere on August 22, 2025, with a 10-episode first season, each episode running for thirty minutes.
The trailer for Long Story Short introduces viewers to the Schwooper family, showcasing their dynamic and the challenges they face as they navigate through life. The series features a star-studded cast, including Lisa Edelstein, Paul Reiser, Ben Feldman, Abbi Jacobson, Max Greenfield, Angelique Cabral, and Nicole Byer, with additional recurring and guest-starring characters.
Bob-Waksberg, the creator, writer, and producer of Long Story Short, has a proven track record of success with his previous creation, BoJack Horseman, which garnered critical acclaim. BoJack Horseman follows the story of a former sitcom star trying to revive his career in Hollywood, voiced by a talented cast including Will Arnett, Amy Sedaris, Alison Brie, Paul F. Tompkins, and Aaron Paul.
The swift renewal of Long Story Short by Netflix indicates the streamer's confidence in Bob-Waksberg's ability to deliver another animated hit. With the anticipation building up for the show's premiere, fans are eager to see what this new series has in store.
