What Is Long Story Short About?

This upcoming animated series by Raphael Bob-Waksberg, the creator of BoJack Horseman, will focus on the Schwooper family across different stages of their lives. The story spans from childhood to adulthood and even loops back again, highlighting their accomplishments, setbacks, happiness, and concessions. As hinted, it promises a mix of humor and drama as we journey through various moments in this family’s life.

BoJack Horseman, initially, was one of the pioneering animated series on Netflix, running for six seasons before concluding. Its unique appeal among animation enthusiasts stemmed from its raw portrayal of heavy themes such as depression and solitude, and how these issues affect not just the individual but also those around them. Long Story Short, an upcoming series, seems to be treading similar ground, this time focusing on a family throughout its run. With this rich dynamic in place, we’re eagerly waiting to see how it unfolds when it premieres on Netflix.
