According to The Hollywood Reporter, Raphael Bob-Waksberg (Horsin’ Around) the creator of Netflix’s Bojack Horseman, is back with a new animated series titled Long Story Short. The new animated series premiered for the first time during Annecy and showcased how the series will follow characters dealing with trials and tribulations.

As per The Hollywood Reporter, Bob-Waksberg speaking at Annecy ahead of the series’ world premiere said, “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. 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 get to meet these kids as kids, and then in the next episode, we jump to the future, and they’re adults with kids of their own.”

Via The Hollywood Reporter, it is stated that compared to other cartoonish parents in Bojack Horseman, the family in Long Story Short will be more grounded in reality. Bob-Waksberg said, “Most of us have parents that exist somewhere in the spectrum of pretty good to not the best, and yet, all of us are fucked up in some way. It’s so easy to just write off your terrible parents, your terrible childhood, like we did in Bojack, but I think there are more nuanced, interesting stories to tell when your parents are maybe not quite what you need them to be in one moment, but you can’t write them off completely.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Long Story Short stars Ben Feldman (Mayfair Witches, Superstore), Abbi Jacobson (Broad City, Disenchantment) and Max Greenfield (New Girl, The Neighborhood), as the three Schwooper siblings, Avi, Shira, and Yoshi, with Paul Reiser (Stranger Things, My Two Dads) and Lisa Edelstein (Girlfriend’s Guide To Divorce, House), as the parents, Elliott and Naomi. Angelique Cabral (Life in Pieces, Life in Pieces) plays Avi’s girlfriend, Jen. Other cast includes Nicole Byer (Nailed It!, Wipeout), Dave Franco (Krapopolis, Together) and Michaela Dietz (Steven Universe, Barney & Friends).

Long Story Short premieres on Netflix August 22.
