“I’m not someone therapy works on. I might be too smart.” That’s the sound of BoJack Horseman returning to our screens, as his life risks getting back on track after years of it going off the rails.

The failed legendary 90s sitcom star from the favorite family sitcom Horsin’ Around has been trying to find his way through a muddle of self-loathing, whisky and failed relationships ever since. As we rejoin him in Season 5, he’s landed a new role in a TV show called Philbert, which could nudge his career back in the right direction – as someone who wants to get better but doesn’t know how, though, the odds seem far from in his favour.

Will Arnett once again voices BoJack, alongside Aaron Paul as human sidekick Todd (Aaron Paul) and Amy Sedaris as BoJack’s feline agent and ex-paramour Princess Carolyn. Season 5 will premiere on Friday 14th September, and, judging by the trailer, things promise to be as dark, funny and imaginatively surreal as ever.

Here’s the video:

 

BoJack Horseman Season 5 is available to watch on Netflix UK, as part of an £9.99 monthly subscription.

 

BoJack Horseman Season 5 set for September premiere
28th June 2018

BoJack Horseman will return for Season 5 in September, the show’s own equine star has announced.

Netflix’s animated comedy, which is created by Raphael Bob-Waksberg, follows the failed legendary ‘90s sitcom star (Will Arnett) as he tries to find his way through a muddle of self-loathing, whisky and failed relationships to recapture his stardom, if not his life. Supporting by his human sidekick Todd (Aaron Paul) and his feline agent and ex-paramour Princess Carolyn (Amy Sedaris), BoJack has evolved from an adult sitcom into something darker, becoming a flagship Netflix show with a sizeable following.

“BoJack Horseman is less a comedy, more a drama with jokes,” we wrote in our review of Season 4. “Now, the majority of episodes end on a downer, as the increasingly upsetting cast of characters wrestle with their inadequacy. As the show takes even bolder steps with its character development and raises the emotional stakes with every episode, it drags the viewer into its strange, animal-populated world. It doesn’t matter that you’re laughing less, because you’ve come to care so much about these terrible misfits.”

Within a month of that fourth run dropping on Netflix, the streaming giant had already confirmed it had ordered a fifth. With summer upon us, fans have since been taking to Twitter to ask when, exactly, they can get their next BoJack hit.

Taking to social media in typically bitter form, everyone’s favourite alcoholic former horse celebrity responded from his own account, revealing that Season 5 of BoJack Horseman will premiere on Friday 14th September. That gives you just under three months to catch up with the rest on Netflix.

wooowwww congratulations you are the 10000000 person to ask that question your prize is the answer sept 14th now please stop asking me https://t.co/YlMPphjRdq

Netflix renews BoJack Horseman for Season 5

21st September 2017

Netflix has renewed BoJack Horseman for Season 5, a matter of weeks after the premiere of Season 4.

Created by Raphael Bob-Waksberg, the adult animation stars Will Arnett as BoJack, the failed legendary ‘90s sitcom star from the favorite family sitcom Horsin’ Around, who has been trying to find his way through a muddle of self-loathing, whisky and failed relationships. Now, in the presence of his human sidekick Todd (Aaron Paul) and his feline agent and ex-paramour Princess Carolyn (Amy Sedaris), BoJack is primed for his comeback.

Except, of course, that comeback still hasn’t happened, even after four runs.

“The show barely fits the genre of comedy any more,” we we wrote in our review, which hailed the series has “one of Netflix’s boldest original shows”.

“BoJack Horseman is less a comedy, more a drama with jokes,” we said. “Now, the majority of episodes end on a downer, as the increasingly upsetting cast of characters wrestle with their inadequacy. As the show takes even bolder steps with its character development and raises the emotional stakes with every episode, it drags the viewer into its strange, animal-populated world. It doesn’t matter that you’re laughing less, because you’ve come to care so much about these terrible misfits.”

Netflix announced the renewal with a video revealing the conversation between BoJack a clingy Netflix exec:

 

BoJack Horseman Season 4 gets a trailer

10th July 2017

Where’s BoJack Horseman? That’s the question anybody who’s anybody is asking, as the new trailer for Netflix’s animated comedy arrives.

Everyone’s favourite alcoholic equine was commissioned for a fourth run last year, within 24 hours of his third season premiering – a strong vote of confidence in the Will Arnett-voiced character.

“There are few television shows around at the moment as tonally complex as Bojack Horseman,” we wrote in our review of the third season, praising it for being a show that’s “not entirely a comedy”.

The show’s fourth run sees BoJack off the map entirely, as he wrestles with self-loathing and loss. Meanwhile, back in the hectic real world, Todd is helping Mr. Peanutbutter run for governor of California – “I am on the side of facts! And also feelings!” – and Diane spends her days in a job at a hip blog and her nights writing to BoJack trying to find out where he is.

We’ll find out on Friday 8th September, when all episodes of Season 4 are released. Here’s the trailer:

 

BoJack Horseman Season 4 gets September release date

10th July 2017

BoJack Horseman will gallop back on to our screens this September, Netflix has confirmed.

Everyone’s favourite alcoholic equine was commissioned for a fourth run last year, within 24 hours of his third season premiering – a strong vote of confidence in the Will Arnett-voiced character, especially at a time when the streaming service has increasingly begun cancelling original shows that don’t draw in a big enough audience. It turns out, though, that Will Arnett, Aaron Paul and a uniquely strange approach to comedy are all that’s needed for a thoroughbred success.

“Bojack Horseman’s third season is still as funny and emotionally devastating as the first two,” we wrote in our review. “Few shows on air at the moment can match it for the extent and depth of feeling, or the intelligence and hilarity of its jokes. It’s a show with a social conscience, is unafraid to make its characters the bad guys and is packed with visual and verbal gags. While the third season does stumble in a couple of places and lags in pace elsewhere, it’s still one of the best comedies on television. It could just be one of the best dramas, too.”

Season 4 of BoJack Horseman will premiere on Friday 8th September. The show’s official Twitter account unveiled the release date in typically incompetent fashion, “accidentally” posting a photo of the date being written in the sky:

No further details of the renewal have been announced, although you can expect the voice cast of Amy Sedaris, Alison Brie, Aaron Paul and Paul F. Tompkins to return as the animated ensemble surrounding everyone’s favourite alcoholic equine actor, BoJack (Will Arnett). With each season also arriving in the summer so far, you can expect Horseman’s fourth gallop to happen in around 12 months from now.

“There are few television shows around at the moment as tonally complex as Bojack Horseman,” we wrote in our review of the third season, praising it for being a show that’s “not entirely a comedy”.

“Bojack Horseman’s third season is still as funny and emotionally devastating as the first two.
