Netflix series roundup: Bojack season 3, Aziz Ansari sitcom, Jessica Jones, and more

bojack horseman netflix season three aziz ansari
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.

News of the show being picked up came via the Television Critic’s Association summer press tour, and Vulture reports that plenty of other Netflix announcements came out of the event. Here’s a rundown:

  • Aziz Ansari’s highly-anticipated sitcom Master of None will debut on November 6, 2015 and will follow the personal and professional life of an indecisive young man named Dev.
  • The release of a new Chelsea Handler’s Documentary series called Chelsea Does is imminent and will chronicle the comedian’s attempts to do a number of controversial/amusing/interesting things.
  • A new Keith Richards Documentary (Keith Richards: Under the Influence) will air September 18, 2015.
  • Longmire will return for a fourth season September 10, 2015.
  • With Bob and David, a sketch-comedy series starring Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, will premier Q4 2015.
  • Marvel’s Jessica Jones, starring Krysten Ritter and David Tennant, will premier Q4 2015.
  • Sofia Coppola’s A Very Murray Christmas, starring Bill Murray and a host of other stars (George Clooney, Michael Cera, Chris Rock, etc.), will premier Q4 2015.
  • Hemlock Grove will be returning for its final season Q4 2015.
  • F is for Family, an animated show from Bill Burr, will premier Q4 2015.
  • A plethora of Comedy Specials are on the way: Demetri Martin: Live (At the Time), August 14, 2015; Anjelah Johnson: Not Fancy, October 2, 2015; Anthony Jeselnik: Thoughts and Prayers, October 16, 2015; John Mulaney: The Comeback Kid, November 13, 2015; Brent Morin, December 1, 2015; Mike Epps: After Dark, December 18, 2015.

While Nimona has been the big Netflix original animated film of the summer, it's far from the only addition to the lineup.

However, Netflix's biggest recent addition is one of 2022's biggest animated hits: DreamWorks' Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

Netflix's deals with Sony Pictures Animation, DreamWorks Animation, and Universal Pictures have given it a powerhouse library of animated films. And that's before we even get into Netflix's impressive originals like The Sea Beast. To help you keep track of what's new and what you can stream right now, we've updated our list of the best animated movies on Netflix.

10 best Batman stories ever, ranked
Batman Year One cover

Bounding from rooftop to rooftop, the Dark Knight never misses his mark. He operates like a well-oiled machine tracking bad guys, beating them to a bloody pulp, and throwing them in the slammer - or Arkham Asylum should they be anyone of Gotham's notable supervillains. As the brainchild of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, an artist and writer duo, Batman has been pounding the pavement of Gotham ever since his debut in Detective Comics in 1939. He's undergone a number of changes since his original conception ultimately becoming the brooding powerhouse we know today.

Most understand the basic tenants of Batman these days. His parents were murdered before his young eyes leading him down this path of personal vindication and pursuit of justice. Batman, in most iterations, never resorts to killing -- the one crime that separates his outlaw vigilante operations from the real criminals. Of course, it wasn't always that way. In Batman's earliest days, he had no qualms about ending the lives of baddies on the streets. Even now, some stories and films like Tim Burton's gothic take on the character depict him looking on with cold and uncaring glares as criminals meet their end. Regardless, Batman is mostly a well-established hero simply seeking justice and there are countless stories of the Caped Crusader. Let's take a look at the best among them.
