List of BoJack Horseman episodes
BoJack Horseman is an American animated sitcom created by Raphael Bob-Waksberg. The series stars Will Arnett as the eponymous character, BoJack Horseman, the washed-up star of the 1990s sitcom Horsin' Around, who plans his big return to celebrity relevance with a tell-all autobiography that he dictates to his ghostwriter Diane Nguyen (Alison Brie). BoJack also has to contend with the demands of his agent and on-again-off-again girlfriend, Princess Carolyn (Amy Sedaris); the misguided antics of his freeloading roommate, Todd Chavez (Aaron Paul); and his frenemy, Mr. Peanutbutter (Paul F. Tompkins), who is also Nguyen's boyfriend. The series satirizes Hollywood, celebrity culture, and the film industry.
As of July 22, 2016, 37 episodes of BoJack Horseman have been released, concluding its third season. On July 22, 2016, the series was renewed for a fourth season.
