An official trailer for the new Netflix series from BoJack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Long Story Short, has just dropped, along with an early announcement that the animated show has a bright future ahead. Long Story Short spans decades in the life of a dysfunctional yet loving family.

Bob-Waksberg is not only behind BoJack Horseman, but also served as the creator of Prime Video's Undone and wrote two episodes of Tuca & Bertie. While BoJack Horseman is undoubtedly the showrunner's biggest hit, running for 6 seasons and earning 3 Emmy nominations, Long Story Short may have a long run ahead of it.

Netflix released the trailer for Long Story Short, previewing Bob-Waksberg's new series. In their statement while sharing the trailer, Netflix also Long Story Short, has already been renewed for a second season. Long Story Short's first season will be hitting the streamer on August 22. Check out the trailer and renewal announcement...

Show renewals are hard to get nowadays. Several factors influence a series' chances of growth. Many networks and streamers look for high audience viewership, how much the show gains traction in the media, especially on social apps, the financial side (how costly it is to make the show), etc. Whatever doesn't yield a return on its investment gets the "doomed" canceled tag. Yet, there are times a show hears the sweet sounds of renewal, even before season 1 becomes available. Netflixjust made the rare decision to renew Raphael Matthew Bob-Waksberg's upcoming animated comedy, Long Story Short, weeks before its users can stream the debut season.

It seems like the streamer believes it'll be love at first sight with Netflix users and the new animation, which is set to premiere on August 22, 2025. According to The Hollywood Reporter, season 1 will have 10 episodes, and they'll be thirty minutes long each. News of the...

Long Story Short, a new animated comedy from the creator of BoJack Horseman, is not set to debut on Netflix until Aug. 22. However, weeks ahead of the premiere, the show has already had its future confirmed.

Netflix has officially renewed Long Story Short for Season 2. The animated comedy follows a family through childhood to adulthood and back again. All the while, their "triumphs, disappointments, joys, and compromises" are explored. Potential fans can get a sneak at the series by watching the new trailer below.

Cedric the Entertainer’s beloved The Neighborhood has become one of the most-watched shows on Paramount+. The show originally premiered on CBS on October 1, 2018, and has since gained popularity for its hearty comedy. Starring Cedric, Tichina Arnold, Max Greenfield, and Beth Behrs, the sitcom has also found traction on streaming, entering Paramount Plus’ Top 10 TV Shows (via Flix Patrol).

All seven seasons of the show are currently available for streaming on the platform. The show has often been lauded for its grounded realism and the Butler family’s racially aware humor. Let’s dive deeper into what the future holds for the franchise.

Cedric the Entertainer’s Hit Sitcom To Return For a Final Season

The Neighborhood, anchored by Cedric the Entertainer’s portrayal of Calvin Butler, has some good news. The sitcom will be returning to CBS for its eighth and final season. The show aired its Season 7 finale...

Broadcast television is in the middle of a major surge, especially over on CBS, where a bunch of United States viewers have been treated to hits like "Elsbeth" and the new version of "Matlock." Streaming has brought a wealth of choice, but the general cost of maintaining a bunch of subscriptions, and the relative ease of turning on the TV for predictable programming, has seen some people flocking back to the big four networks. In spite of this renewed interest in broadcast television from people who might have cut the cord last decade, CBS has been putting a bunch of shows out to pasture, and "The Neighborhood," starring Cedric the Entertainer and Max Greenfield, was one of the unlucky victims this year. If that wasn't bad enough, a planned spin-off for "The Neighborhood," focusing on the characters Marty and Malcolm, also got the boot recently.

CBS decided to let go...

We have officially passed the halfway point of the year, and while some super popular Netflix shows have already been released, the best and biggest are still yet to come. The summer has been heated up by the likes of Squid Game, The Waterfront, and Untamed, but a certain someone we all know and love is about to make sure we're not having too much fun in August 2025.

After almost three years since its massive debut, Wednesday returns with its highly anticipated second season. Wednesday Addams will put a screeching halt to all of our summer fun. Well, she'll at least try because we're going to have a blast with these new episodes, but we can't make any guarantees that we will be all dark and gloomy just like she is!

In addition to Wednesday's triumphant comeback in August, Netflix brings back another fan-favorite teen series at the end of the month,...

The director of Netflix's long-awaited Adam Sandler sequel, Happy Gilmore 2, discusses what it was like working with Sandler's two daughters, Sadie and Sunny. Both Sadie, 18, and Sunny, 16, have crucial roles in the latest Sandler comedy, yet only one actually portrays Happy Gilmore's daughter.

Both Sadie and Sunny also starred in Sandler's 2023 Netflix comedy You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah. Kyle Newacheck, who rose to prominence as a co-creator, director, and actor on the Comedy Central classic comedy series Workaholics, recently spoke with People about directing the Sandler family in the highly anticipated Happy Gilmore sequel.

"It was awesome. It's amazing. It is so cool to see them all be creative and to work and gel to tell the story.

"It just makes me excited to see what they're going to come up with in the next 10 years, if they're going to follow their father's footsteps...

The Neighborhood was paired with Bob ❤ Abishola for several years, but that CBS show was cancelled after five seasons. Could this long-running sitcom follow? Will The Neighborhood be cancelled or renewed for season eight? Stay tuned.

A family comedy series, The Neighborhood TV show stars Cedric the Entertainer, Max Greenfield, Sheaun McKinney, Marcel Spears, Skye Townsend, Hank Greenspan, Tichina Arnold, and Beth Behrs. This sitcom begins when an amiable guy and his family -- professional conflict negotiator Dave Johnson (Greenfield), school principal Gemma (Behrs), and their son, Grover (Greenspan) -- move to a community in Los Angeles that's quite different from their Michigan small town. Their opinionated next-door neighbor is Calvin Butler (Cedric the Entertainer), a family man wary of the newcomers. However, Calvin's family feels very differently about them.

“We’ve decided to go in a different direction.”

It was a line Tess Sanchez uttered often in her job as a high-powered casting director, first at the WB and later at Fox; then, in the fall of 2020, that same phrase was used on her as her boss revealed the network was doing away with her position, ending a 20-year career over Zoom. Sanchez detailed all of it in her recently published collection of essays, appropriately titled We’re Going in a Different Direction, which she discussed with moderator Ali Wentworth, herself an author as well as an actress, producer, podcaster and comedian, at East Hampton’s Hedges Inn in early July.

The lively talk kicked off a new, weekly conversation series that the inn — now under the stewardship of Andrew and Sarah Wetenhall, known for revitalizing The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach — is billing as “intimate gatherings featuring a...

"Stay on your side of the invisible line!" Netflix has finally revealed the first look at the next new animated series from the creator of BoJack Horseman, known as Raphael Bob-Waksberg. His new animated series is called Long Story Short, available to watch streaming on Netflix starting in August later this summer. A dysfunctional family's (the Schwoopers) shared history, inside jokes, and old wounds are explored in this adult animated comedy spanning multiple years of time. "From the creator of BoJack Horseman, a comedy for anyone who has ever loved or hated their family." Ha.

Raphael Bob-Waksberg has a new, dysfunctional family to introduce with the first teaser for his upcoming animated series Long Story Short. Set to premiere on August 22, the show is the latest passion project from the BoJack Horseman creator, following the lives of the three Schwooper siblings as they grow up, navigate their troubles together, and unpack their generational trauma. Viewers will watch them from childhood to adulthood, but as the footage shows, age doesn't necessarily make them any more mature. From family car trips to dinners and other little moments with each other, the ten-episode run promises to pack their lives with the signature blend of comedy and grounded drama that Bob-Waksberg is known for.

The teaser flashes between the Schwoopers as kids and adults, albeit all within the same confined space of the back of the family car. They get into the typical sibling bickering about taking up too...

In the Season Four premiere of The Bear, a lot of steps are taken to contain the chaos that even Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) admits to Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) he doesn’t like. Cicero (Oliver Platt) and his business manager “Computer” (Brian Koppelman) let the chefs, and general manager Sugar (Abby Elliott) know exactly what their financial situation is: The Bear has precisely two months of runway to start turning a profit; a 1,440-minute countdown clock may not decrease anyone’s stress about it, but at least it’s making expectations starkly clear.

Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) has hired the front-of-house staff from Ever, the restaurant where he did his apprenticeship back in Season Two; they’re establishing new kitchen practices to smooth the process. These are fine first steps, but I’m not seeing the one I think could make the greatest difference in the shortest time: Scream Jar.

Voting for the 2025 Emmys officially opened today, and Gold Derby has spotted several intriguing strategies, omissions, and oddities in the ballots, which are available to view on the Television Academy website.

When it comes to the writing and directing categories, a popular strategy is to submit as few options as possible, so as not to split the vote. (Remember how Succession would only submit a single episode in writing each year? It won that race four seasons in a row.) That's why we're so surprised to see ABC's boat-themed medical drama Doctor Odyssey flooding the ballot 11 different times for Best Drama Directing. If the show can't pinpoint one or two stand-out directors out of Jen Lynch, Our Lady J, Tessa Blake, Paris Barclay, Crystle Roberson Dorsey, Brad Buecker, Millicent Shelton, Michael Medico, Steven Canals, Maggie Kiley, and John J. Gray, how are the voters supposed to?

Raphael Bob-Waksberg, the man broadly credited with reinventing animation with his 6-season, three-time Emmy-nominated Netflix hit Bojack Horseman, is back with more family trauma, but no taking animals, in Long Story Short.

The new Netflix animated series, which Bob-Waksberg premiered at the Annecy international animation film festival on Thursday, follows the trials and tribulations, or as Bob-Waksberg puts it, the “small t traumas,” of the Schwoopers, a fairly ordinary Jewish family.

“On one hand, it is an animated family comedy like Bob’s Burgers or King of the Hill, that kind of show, we have two parents, three kids,” he said, speaking at Annecy ahead of the series’ world premiere. “But the way we’re telling stories is a little different, in that we’re traveling back and forth through time. Not by using a time machine, just in the way we’re telling stories. So in the first episode, we...

“Long Story Short” cuts to the point. Coming from “BoJack Horseman” creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg, it’s without the parody dressing “BoJack Horseman” presents, instead getting closer to the heart of human conflict and comedy.

Screening at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival this week, the first episode of the “BoJack” creator’s latest animated Netflix series sees Avi (Ben Feldman) bring his new girlfriend Jennifer (Abbi Jacobson) to meet his family ahead of his little brother Yoshi’s (Max Greenfield) Bat Mitzvah. It drowns you in overlapping dialogue, religious anxiety, and eccentric family members, immediately distancing itself from Waksberg’s past work. The series then follows the Jewish family through the years, their hopes, and disappointments.

“I was thinking about family, time, and identity,” Waksberg told IndieWire at Annecy. “In the writers room, I wrote those up on a board, like this is what the show is about. More specifically,...

Comedy heavyweights gathered at the Lakers training facility to celebrate Netflix’s breakout hit Running Point. The series, starring Kate Hudson and loosely inspired by the life of Lakers president Jeanie Buss, quickly built a dedicated fan base following its February release. A second season is already confirmed and Friday night’s FYC panel made one thing clear: Running Point has earned its place among the genre’s elite.

The talent behind the camera is just as impressive as the talent onscreen. Co-creator and executive producer Mindy Kaling partnered with her former The Mindy Project colleagues Ike Barinholtz and David Stassen to make the series happen, which she joked during the panel was “fine” and “like a B-minus.” Barinholtz and Stassen backed Kaling up on her Hulu comedy, which ended its run in 2017, and did the same on Running Point. “When you’re on [set] and you’re there since 6 a.

A “Clash of Clans” animated series has been greenlit at Netflix, Variety has learned.

Titled “Clash,” the series is said to follow “a determined, but in over his head, Barbarian who must rally a band of misfits to defend their village and navigate the comically absurd politics of war.” The show is said to be set in the world of Supercell’s “Clash of Clans” and “Clash Royale.” Pre-production is now underway.

Fletcher Moules will serve as showrunner, with Ron Weiner serving as head writer. Moules previously worked with Supercell on “Clash of Clans” animated videos for YouTube, which have amassed hundreds of millions of views. Icon Creative Studio will lead animation on the Netflix series.

The mobile game “Clash of Clans” originally launched in 2012, while “Clash Royale” debuted in 2016. Since then, the two games of have remained wildly popular. They have been downloaded over four billion times with 180 billion hours of gameplay.

In this week’s season finale of The Simpsons, Bart and Lisa’s interest in The Itchy & Scratchy Show begins to wane, prompting them to seek out other potential TV replacements. Lisa gets really into Quirk Girl, a not-so-subtle New Girl spoof that actually features the voices of stars Max Greenfield and Zooey Deschanel, who “made it okay for cute girls to be pretty.”

Bart, on the other hand, is watching a new animated series called Screaming Friends, which is full of gratingly loud oddball cartoon characters. “The jokes are great, but what I love is the storytelling,” Bart tells Marge.

Screaming Friends is clearly a parody of Smiling Friends, the beloved, and intensely bizarre Adult Swim series. But fans of the show aren’t exactly thrilled about the apparently uncomplimentary send-up.

Most of the complaints seemed to suggest that the overly-simplistic pseudo-reference was an example of the show being out-of-touch,...

Beloved Fox sitcom New Girl is getting a belated spoof from one of its network brethren, and two of the show's stars are along for the ride.

"Estranger Things," the thirty-sixth season finale of the undying animated series, will air this Sunday night on Fox and stream on Hulu the next day. Entertainment Weekly has a first look at Deschanel and Greenfield's appearances on the series.

In the clip, Lisa (Yeardley Smith) is watching the sitcom Quirk Girl on her tablet; she describes it as being "from the golden age of television: 2013." A thinly-veiled parody of New Girl, it stars a Deschanel lookalike who, Lisa gushes, "made it okay for cute girls to be pretty." Greenfield voices her roommate, the slick ladies' man Schultz, who's just borrowed a dog to help him pick up women.

Jess and Schmidt from New Girl are reuniting - kind of. For seven seasons, Zooey Deschanel and Max Greenfield played Jess Day and Schmidt on the Emmy-nominated Fox series New Girl. To say that Jess’s character was quirky may be an understatement. The show begins with a newly dumped Jess, a young teacher, moving into a loft with three guys, and antics ensue. New Girl ran for seven seasons from 2011 to 2018.

Now, Deschanel and Greenfield (The Neighborhood) are essentially reprising their New Girl roles, but with a twist, in the Season 36 finale of The Simpsons,airing on May 18. Per Entertainment Weekly, Deschanel and Greenfield are parodying their characters in the episode. A clip of the scene can be watched below.

Michael Schur’s latest project, Man on the Inside, starring the ever-charming Ted Danson, is officially coming back for a second season, and fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief. But before Netflix gave it the green light, the team behind the show had some very understandable hesitation. After all, Netflix has a bit of a reputation for ghosting its own shows just when viewers start getting emotionally invested.

And no one can’t blame them for being cautious, especially when one’s working with a high-concept comedy that’s not exactly built for instant algorithmic gratification. Shows like this take time to bloom. But even with the streaming red flags waving, there was one major reason to have hope, Michael Schur.

Known for turning offbeat premises into gold,, Schur reportedly had a roadmap laid out, not just for season one, but beyond. That kind of vision is rare,...

What do you do after creating some of the greatest comedies of all time, The Office, Parks and Rec, and The Good Place? If you’re Mike Schur, you take a wild left turn into heart-tugging mystery territory with A Man on the Inside.

Based on an Oscar-nominated documentary, the show mixes Schur’s signature traits with a surprisingly sharp twist. And guess what? He says this might be his most intense project yet, and honestly, it sounds way more exciting than an Office reboot.

Why Michael Schur took on A Man on the Inside!

Michael Schur isn’t exactly hurting for hits. He’s one of the minds behind The Office, Parks and Rec, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and The Good Place, with a comedy resume so stacked it could probably qualify for its own Emmy category.
