Well, that was quick. Netflix’s constantly kvetching, washed up, alcoholic, anthropomorphic equine is has already been scheduled for a third season.

Following the series premiere less than a year ago, BoJack Horseman will return for its third season run sometime in 2016 with at least 12 new episodes. All the series regulars are set to return (Will Arnett, Alison Brie, Aaron Paul, Amy Sedaris, etc.) and no major shakeups have yet been reported.

For the uninitiated, BoJack Horseman follows the self-loathing former star of a sitcom called Horsin’ Around as he putzes around Hollywood, complaining about anything and everything. The series has caught fire with audiences, so if you’re a fan of the so-sad-that-it’s-funny genre, this is right up your alley.

Like Sweet Tooth season 3? Then watch these great Netflix shows right now
Five people stand in a field in Sweet Tooth season 3.

After three seasons, Netflix's Sweet Tooth has come to its end. The series, adapted from Jeff Lemire's much-acclaimed Vertigo comic book series, became a solid performer for Netflix following its first season, and has amassed a devoted, if small, following. The series tells the story of its titular character, a hybrid creature who is living in a postapocalyptic reality where much of the world has been devastated by a pandemic.

If you've finished Sweet Tooth and are looking for other dystopian series like it on Netflix, then you're in luck. We've pulled out three shows from the streaming service that will hopefully give you the same feeling you got while watching Sweet Tooth, even if they are set in slightly different dystopian futures.
