When Does ‘Long Story Short’ Come Out? ‘BoJack Horseman’ Creator’s Jewish Family Comedy Sets Netflix Debut

If you’ve been missing the razor-sharp wit and emotional gut punches of BoJack Horseman, good news: creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg is back with another animated series.

Netflix’s Long Story Short trades Hollywood satire for Jewish family drama, following the Schwoopers across decades of love, grief, and generational clashes.

With a stacked voice cast and a fresh yet familiar tone, the show is already earning early buzz—and even scored a Season 2 renewal before its premiere.

So when can you actually stream it? We’ve got the answers.

When does Long Story Short come out?

The adult animated family comedy from BoJack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg premieres on August 22, 2025 on Netflix.

What is Long Story Short about?

Instead of Hollywood satire, Bob-Waksberg shifts focus to the Schwooper family—a proudly Jewish household navigating life across decades. The series spans from the 1950s to the 2020s using a non-linear format filled with family bickering, cultural moments, and striking emotional beats.

Who’s in the voice cast of Long Story Short?

The voice cast is stacked, featuring Ben Feldman (Avi), Abbi Jacobson (Shira), Max Greenfield (Yoshi), Lisa Edelstein (Naomi Schwartz), Paul Reiser (Elliott Cooper), and others like Angelique Cabral and Nicole Byer.

Critics are calling the series “painfully beautiful”—a heartfelt yet hilarious dive into Jewish life, identity, and family legacy that balances satire with sincerity. It’s already been renewed for Season 2 before the first even drops.

So whether you’re here for the biting humor, the Jewish family dynamics, or just another dose of Bob-Waksberg’s signature existential gut checks, Long Story Short is shaping up to be the next big animated binge. Clear your calendar for August 22—this one’s worth the watch.
