Netflix Renews BoJack Horseman for Season 5
BoJack Horseman is officially coming back for Season 5.
Netflix made the announcement on Twitter via a video, (which you can view here), of a “clingy Netflix exec” texting BoJack about the renewal.
BoJack Horseman follows Will Arnett as the titular self-hating, washed-up ‘90s sitcom star who is also a horse. Along with Arnett, the core voice cast includes Amy Sedaris as Princess Carolyn, Aaron Paul as Todd, Alison Brie as Diane and Paul F. Tompkins as Mr. Peanutbutter.
The fourth season of the series recently premiered on Netflix earlier this month. In IGN's review of Season 4, we say that the "spotlight on BoJack's family strife makes for some of the series' best material in an occasionally uneven season."
How The Gifted Changes the Look of the X-Men
Fox is about to introduce a new live-action X-Men universe with The Gifted. This new TV series will focus on a ragtag band of mutant heroes as they band together and try to survive in a world where the X-Men have seemingly vanished. The series will feature an eclectic cast of mutants, some of whom have appeared in the X-Men movies, others who have yet to make their live-action debut and others still who don't directly correspond to any existing X-Men characters.
As we wait for the series to debut, we thought it would be fun to take a look at the preexisting characters and how their respective looks have evolved over the years as they've made the transition from comics to film and TV. Check out our visual comparisons of Blink, Polaris, Thunderbird, Shatter, Dreamer and Ahab below...
