If you’ve been missing the emotional depth and surreal hilarity of Netflix’s beloved animated sitcom Bojack Horseman, you’re in luck. The streaming giant is once again teaming with the show’s creator Rapahel Bob-Waksberg for a new series, Long Story Short, which has finally gotten its first teaser trailer.
The teaser shows the main characters of the series, the Schwooper siblings, in a scenario just about anyone who’s not an only child has experienced: childish fighting in the back seat of the car. The twist is, we also get a glimpse forward to the Schwoopers as adults, still doing the exact same thing.

That jump in timelines is the central premise of Long Story Short, which follows the lives of the Schwooper family as both kids and adults, moving back and forth in time to show the parallels between their childhoods and their adulthoods.
