Will Arnett, Aaron Paul Star In Animated Netflix Series About A Whiskey-Chugging Horse
Are you missing your favorite actors from Arrested Development and Breaking Bad? Well, a new original show on Netflix might make you a little giddy, and maybe neigh a little.
BoJack Horseman is an animated show premiering mid-2014 on the streaming service that will feature the voices of Arrested Development's Will Arnett and Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul, according to Variety. Arnett portrays a self-loathing, boozehound horse trying to break back in the Hollywood business with Paul as his human sidekick. On top of that, Amy Sedaris lends her voice to the horse's feline ex-girlfriend.
BoJack Horseman joins the ranks of Netflix's original programming including House of Cards and Orange is the New Black.
