'Bojack Horseman' season 4 news: New season confirmed; pre-production said to have begun

Fans of Netflix's "BoJack Horseman" have been a bit worried since rumors of the show's cancellation have been going around online for a while. The good news is, the show is not canceled, and pre-production has already started for "BoJack Horseman" season 4.

A Twitter post from the official "BoJack Horseman" account teased the upcoming season with an image of BoJack (Will Arnett) passed out next to a bunch of bottles shaped like a "4."

According to FX News Call, the show's first season was received negatively by most audiences, but with the second and third run of the show, "BoJack Horseman" has essentially become to Netflix what "Family Guy" and "The Simpsons" is to Fox. The show's success could be an ironic metaphor for BoJack's lack of popularity in the actual show.

"BoJack Horseman" takes place in a world where humans and anthropomorphic animals co-exist, and BoJack is a horse(man) who has seen the fall of his career ever since his hit show, "Horsin' Around," ended. The show follows the washed up actor as he tries to regain his fame and cope with his own self-loathing.

"BoJack Horseman" is a possible commentary on the present Hollywood culture and the problems that actors have to cope with in dealing with fame and keeping themselves relevant to audiences. Kristen Schaal's character, Sarah Lynn, serves as a parallel to the story of Lindsay Lohan, a famous child actor who tried to get out of "child" image after she grew up, only to fall into a deep problem with drugs and alcohol.

Bojack is voiced by "Arrested Development's" Will Arnett, and supporting roles are played by "Breaking Bad's" Aaron Paul and "Community's" Alison Brie. The show also had a bunch of celebrities who guest-starred in certain episodes like Patton Oswalt, Stanley Tucci, J.K. Simmons, and Lisa Kudrow.

The fourth season of "BoJack Horsman" is currently under pre-production, and could likely premiere sometime next year.
