Other than usual television sitcoms, even animated sitcoms have been successful in gripping the interest of viewers. To name one big example is BoJack Horseman. It is the longest streaming situational comedy show on Netflix. The man who is behind the creation of the comedy-drama series Undone on Amazon is the creator of the BoJack Horseman sitcom. He is Raphael Waksberg.
Raphael has been the executive producer of Tuca & Bertie, an adult, dark comedy series that aired for a short time. The horse character BoJack is known to be the mainstream character of it. He is shown as self-loathing and self-concerned. He is also much into drinking alcohol most of the time.
Well, if you think all the animated sitcoms are meant for kids viewing, then rethink it. BoJack Horseman is that example. The reason why I am saying this is because it is an adult animated series that covers a realistic portrayal of adult elements like sex, depression, alcoholism, trauma, self-harming, and the condition of a human. So parental guidance is a must here.
BoJack Horseman has been the greatest animated sitcom of all time. Now after the end of season 6, viewers are inquisitive in expecting the release of season 7 of this American sitcom. So let us find out in this article whether the new installment is going to take place or is canceled by its makers.
