BoJack Horseman

Lest BoJack Horseman get scooped by WhatTimeIsItRightNow.com, Netflix is making another commitment to our favorite (recovering?) alcoholic horse. The critically-acclaimed animated satire will officially return for a fifth season, clingy execs reveal.

Just when you thought the end of Game of Thrones Season 7 might cut you a break from must-see shows, in swoops fall TV with dozens upon dozens of new and returning TV series; enough to drive your DVR to self-immolation. Join us for a sneak peek!

Even as Netflix seems to debut new shows twice a week, perhaps no one series is missed so much as BoJack Horseman. Our beloved Horsin’ Around burnout is finally back from vacation, and groggy as ever, setting a September premiere for Season 4.

The third season of Netflix’s BoJack Horseman tested the alcoholic horse’s international marketability, and it seems the real-life series may have come up short.

Just as it seemed to presage vandalism of the Hollywood sign, BoJack Horseman proved eerily prescient about a major mix-up at the Oscars. The fan-favorite sitcom star and Netflix character took in the big Best Picture mix-up at the 2017 Academy Awards, likening it to the show’s own climactic snub for BoJack’s Secretariat.

Los Angeles-dwellers got an amusing start to 2017, waking up to find that the famed “Hollywood” sign had been altered in the night to “Hollyweed.” Naturally, Tinseltown’s leading expert in altering the Hollywood sign, BoJack Horseman, had to weigh in.

Netflix’s BoJack Horseman has evolved over three seasons into a potent meditation on fame and depression, but one wonders how long the animated series will sustain its celebrity bubble. Showrunner Raphael Bob-Waksberg ponders the same, suggesting after America’s 2016 election “there are real, real problems that we need to talk about.”
