Netflix announced Thursday that it’s bringing everyone’s favorite show about a cartoon horse with self-worth issues, BoJack Horseman, back for another season.
The streaming service announced the renewal with a video on BoJack’s Twitter account, like it’s done for other BoJack news in the past. In the clip, BoJack gets a string of texts from someone named “clingy netflix exec” who tries to butter him up with the good news about season five. The announcement video is only around 15 seconds long, but it still manages to work in an easter egg—note the Philbert script under BoJack’s phone—and a classic “HAY-T&T” horse pun.

The renewal news comes just a few weeks after the streaming service released the show’s brilliant fourth season, which continued the BoJack Horseman trend of always managing to one-up the season that came before it. Season four gave us a deep dive into BoJack’s family history and the life of his mother, from her childhood to her elderly dementia.
The episodes were consistently some of the most emotionally devastating yet, without getting lost in the formal experiments that bogged down season three—oh, and there was some stuff about rabid clown dentists and a gubernatorial election, too.
We’ll likely have to wait another year or so before the next season of BoJack hits Netflix, but at least we can look forward to seeing what Jessica Biel is up to after that underground campaign fundraiser. In the meantime, we’ll just have to keep ourselves occupied on the BoJack Horsman website until the next season drops.
