Raphael Bob-Waksberg has a new, dysfunctional family to introduce with the first teaser for his upcoming animated series Long Story Short. Set to premiere on August 22, the show is the latest passion project from the Bojack Horseman creator, following the lives of the three Schwooper siblings as they grow up, navigate their troubles together, and unpack their generational trauma. Viewers will watch them from childhood to adulthood, but as the footage shows, age doesn’t necessarily make them any more mature. From family car trips to dinners and other little moments with each other, the ten-episode run promises to pack their lives with the signature blend of comedy and grounded drama that Bob-Waksberg is known for.
The teaser flashes between the Schwoopers as kids and adults, albeit all within the same confined space of the back of the family car. They get into the typical sibling bickering about taking up too much space and purposefully annoying each other during the ride, culminating in a full-on shouting and shoving match between their adult selves. It shows that their dynamic hasn’t really changed over that time and gives a preview of who these characters are. Ben Feldman stars as Avi Schwooper, the more reserved of the trio and the mediator in the argument between Max Greenfield‘s youngest sibling, Yoshi, and Abbi Jacobson‘s Shira. Just out of view as well are their annoyed parents, Naomi (Lisa Edelstein) and Elliott (Paul Reiser), who just wish for one car ride without all the drama.
