In addition to being Bob-Waksberg’s creation, Long Story Short is also produced by Michael Eisner’s The Tornante Company, which produced BoJack, and animated at the same studio, ShadowMachine. Bob-Waksberg will write and serve as showrunner on the series, which he will executive produce alongside Noel Bright and Steven A. Cohen for Tornante Television, not the Mets owner. Bojack alum and Tuca & Bertie creator Lisa Hanawalt is supervising producer and will design the original art for the series. Corey Campodonico and Alex Bulkley will serve as co-executive producers.

Speaking of Netflix keeping creatives of animated hits around, they’re doing that for Big Mouth too, that they’ve moved onto since finishing its final season, which releases May 23. Created by Mark Levin, Jennifer Flackett, Andrew Goldberg, and Nick Kroll, Mating Season follows a cast of bears, raccoons, deer, foxes and a host of other sexed up forest critters, as they explore love, sexual relationships and the universal need to find a partner. John Derderian the Vice President of Animation Series at Netflix. “Working with Nick Kroll and the brilliant minds at Brutus Pink over the course of eight seasons has been legendary. Now, with Mating Season, they’ll bring that same bold and hilarious creativity into the animal kingdom. We’re beyond excited to unleash this next chapter together.” It is produced by Brutus Pink and with Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio and Ben Kalina serving as executive producers for Titmouse.

Brutus Pink meanwhile is excited to be writing a different demo “After eight incredible seasons telling stories about growing up, we’re excited to tell stories about actual grown-ups. Who happen to be animals. Who are also cartoons.” While Long Story Short has its August premiere, Mating Season premieres in 2026.
