Netflix is the reigning king of the streaming world, but its journey was much different just a decade ago. Establishing its footing in digital streaming, Netflix achieved pathbreaking success with the animated series BoJack Horseman, which made history as the platform’s first original animated series upon its debut in August 2014. Celebrated for its themes, its creator is coming back to Netflix with another original animated series, Long Story Short, this summer.

Netflix's animation department is shining bright with the upcoming stellar cast, and as for its arrival, Long Story Short will be displaying some big Hollywood gems.

For his Netflix comeback with Long Story Short, Raphael Bob-Waksberg has once again assembled a huge and top-notch cast who will be voicing the human family in this time-traveling series. This upcoming Netflix cast boasts Lisa Edelstein, Paul Reiser, Ben Feldman, Abbi Jacobson, Max Greenfield, Angelique Cabral, Nicole Byer, and recurring guests Dave Franco and Michaela Dietz. As for the crew, some names from BoJack Horseman are returning with supervising producer Lisa Hanawalt, Tornante Television's executive producers Noel Bright and Steven A. Cohen. The co-executive producers from Horseman Corey Campodonico and Alex Bulkley are also returning for this series.

Arriving on the platform on August 22, Long Story Short is the story of one family, which will be shown across the years. It follows the Schwooper siblings from childhood to adulthood and back again, documenting their highs and lows and other significant moments in their lives. Back in 2014, BoJack Horseman brought Raphael Bob-Waksberg fame and awards for its world-class satire and emotional depth. Now, with Long Story Short, animation fans’ expectations are just as high for Waksberg.
