Ten years have flown by since this groundbreaking show first galloped onto our screens, leaving viewers captivated by its unique blend of humor, drama, and raw emotional depth.

As a devoted fan, I’d put it like this: “I’m diving deep into the world of BoJack Horseman, an anthropomorphic equine star once reigning in the fictional town of Hollywoo, a nod to our beloved Hollywood. His life took a dramatic turn when the show that catapulted him to fame got axed, leading him on a downward spiral involving excessive drinking and drug use. Years later, he finds himself at a crossroads, yearning for a comeback. To make this dream a reality, he teams up with a ghostwriter to pen his life story in an autobiography.”

7-time Emmy nominee Will Arnett lends his voice to the character of BoJack Horseman, while Alison Brie, a two-time Golden Globe nominee, voices the role of Diane Nguyen, who is BoJack’s ghostwriter. Amy Sedaris, Paul F. Tompkins, and Aaron Paul are also part of the talented voice cast.

It’s amazing how fast time goes! Can you believe it’s been 10 years since the debut of that show? It seems like just yesterday when Netflix unveiled its first adult animated series, and now we’re marking the anniversary. To make this special day even more memorable, let’s revisit all six seasons of BoJack Horseman along with the Christmas special on Netflix. You definitely don’t want to miss out!
