‘BoJack Horseman’ finally shows off its first trailer for season 4

It is not every day that an animated TV series addresses depression and substance abuse, but those days are coming back again — the wild antics of BoJack Horseman will be returning to Netflix for a fourth season on September 8.

If that’s not enough to get you hyped (it should be), feast your eyes on this: Netflix dropped the first official trailer for season 4 on August 24 and it offers a look into the lives of our favorite Hollywoo people (and animals). Mr. Peanut Butter is running for political office, while it looks like Princess Carolyn has found love with an unlikely partner. Todd and Diane are heavily featured in the trailer as well, though BoJack is mostly absent.

BoJack Fourth-man

The show’s official Twitter account made the announcement of when the show would return a little less than a year after the show was renewed for a fourth season. Netflix has not released much information, but the IMDB page for the fourth season suggests the new season of BoJack Horseman will consist of 13 episodes, roughly the same as the first three seasons. The fourth season will also make BoJack Horseman one of Netflix’s longest running original series.

Will Arnett will return to voice the self-loathing main character, BoJack. Series regulars Alison Brie, Aaron Paul, and Amy Sedaris will also return to reprise their usual roles. In a December interview, show creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg suggested all of the main characters will not be together at the start of season 4. “Let’s be a little more meticulous about it and mark, OK, where is BoJack at with this character right now,” Bob-Waksberg said. “How do we want to play that when they come into contact again? I think we were very careful about that.” Bob-Waksberg is also currently working on the script for The Lego Movie sequel.

The show anchored by an animated horse has been a critical darling for Netflix. The last two seasons have won best-animated series at the Critics’ Choice Television Awards. This will mark the second Netflix series Arnett will appear in this year after the second season of Flaked premiered in June.

The crude Netflix comedy goes places a lot of shows would not, but there are places it seems it will not go. In June, all of BoJack Horseman‘s episodes were pulled from Chinese streaming service iQyi. Officials from the company explained the show was removed because “adjustments need to be made to the content.” Netflix struck a deal with iQyi months earlier to have some of its original content on the popular Chinese streaming service after Netflix has been unable to launch in China.

Update: Added the first official trailer for season 4.

Former Karate Kid rivals join forces in Cobra Kai season 5 trailer
Johnny Lawrence and Chozen Toguchi in Cobra Kai season 5.

The Karate Kid movies conditioned us to expect the good guys to win every time. After all, Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) never lost a tournament on the big screen. In Cobra Kai season 4, Daniel and his former rival, Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), were united by their desire to see Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) and his devotees go down in defeat at the annual All Valley Tournament. Unfortunately for them, Terry rigged the tournament in his favor, and now Cobra Kai is quite literally the only game in town in the new trailer for season 5.

The cast of Cobra Kai.

In The Karate Kid, Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) were bitter rivals. But they put that rivalry aside, for the most part, and teamed up to face Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) in Cobra Kai season 4. Daniel and Johnny pooled their talents to instruct the next generation of karate-loving teens in the battle for the soul of the valley. And they failed.

You see, Silver is a man who makes his own luck. And he rigged the All Valley Tournament to ensure that his student, Tory Nichols (Peyton List), would win. As season 5 begins, the results of that tainted win have made Cobra Kai the most popular dojo in town. In fact, Silver is franchising it all over the valley, and it's already caused Miyagi-Do Karate to close its doors. While Johnny has moved on, Daniel isn't giving up yet. That's why he's called upon another former rival, Chozen (Yuji Okumoto), to help him turn the tide.
