The mastermind behind "BoJack Horseman," Raphael Bob-Waksberg, has unveiled a fresh animated comedy gem for Netflix titled "Long Story Short," poised to captivate audiences, at least for the foreseeable future. On Thursday, amidst anticipation for its debut, Netflix granted "Long Story Short" an early renewal for a second season, accompanying the announcement with the release of season one's intriguing trailer.
"Long Story Short" weaves a narrative tapestry around a single family across the years. The official synopsis entices: "Darting through the decades, we accompany the Schwooper siblings from their innocent childhood days to the complexities of adulthood and back again, documenting their triumphs, setbacks, joys, and the compromises life demands."
Starring Lisa Edelstein as Naomi Schwartz, Paul Reiser as Elliott Cooper, Ben Feldman as Avi Schwooper, Abbi Jacobson as Shira Schwooper, Max Greenfield as Yoshi Schwooper, Angelique Cabral as Jen, Nicole Byer as Kendra Hooper, with recurring guest stars Dave Franco as Danny Wegbreit and Michaela Dietz as Hannah Schwooper, the ensemble cast promises a dynamic display of talent.
Bob-Waksberg steps into the role of showrunner, executive producing alongside Noel Bright and Steven A. Cohen with expert precision. Lisa Hanawalt lends her supervisory prowess to the production, while Jack Shih takes the reins as director of supervision. "Long Story Short," a production by Tornante Television, is brought to life with animation magic courtesy of ShadowMachine. Corey Campodonico and Alex Bulkley collaborate as co-executive producers, ensuring every aspect shines brightly.
Spanning ten episodes, each clocking in at 30 minutes, season one of "Long Story Short" is set to premiere. Bob-Waksberg couldn't contain his excitement about the pre-emptive vote of confidence. "Wow! A season two already?! And season one hasn't even hit the screens yet! It must be a stunner of a show," he quipped in a statement. "I, for one, can hardly wait to tune in when it drops on Netflix, this Friday, August 22! Let's all dive in together!"
