Aaron Paul in New Show on Netflix With Will Arnett; 'BoJack Horseman' Debuts Next Summer
Aaron Paul will star in a new show alongside Will Arnett that will debut next year on Netflix.
Paul will provide the voice for one of the main characters along with Arnett and Amy Sedaris on an animated series for Netflix called "BoJack Horseman: A Tale of Fear, Loathing and Animals."
The show follows BoJack, a washed-up star of fictional family friendly 1990's comedy "Horsin' Around" and is trying to survive a "muddle of self-loathing, whiskey and failed relationships."

Paul will play his human sidekick and Sedaris is Princess Caroline, his feline agent and ex-lover.
"BoJack Horseman is a brutally funny and unique take on what can happen after pop stardom," Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos said in a statement. "Raphael [Bob-Waksberg, series creator] has created an amazing set of characters voiced by some of the best comics and actors in the world."
The series is set to premiere in mid-2014 and will have 12 episodes. The show was created by Raphael Bob-Waksberg, a writer and actor known for his work on "The Exquisite Corpse Project." According to Variety, Arnett will do the voice of whiskey-drinking horse BoJack and Paul does the voice of BoJack's sidekick.
"Even though he's been out to pasture, I've always admired BoJack for his inimitable style and can-do attitude," Sarandos added. "I couldn't be more thrilled that he's getting off his legendary haunches to join the Internet TV revolution here on Netflix."
The former "Breaking Bad" star is not the only former cast member to get his own show.
AMC recently green light a "Breaking Bad" spinoff that will revolve around Walter White's seedy lawyer Saul Goodman, played by Bob Odenkirk.
The network revealed that the "Breaking Bad" spinoff will be a prequel and will be drawn up by "Breaking Bad" maestro Vince Gilligan.
Reports indicate that the show, tentatively called "Better Call Saul," has been in development for months and will be the "evolution of the popular Saul Goodman character before he ever became Walter White's lawyer."
Saul Goodman made his first appearance in season two of the AMC hit drama series when he was hired by Walt and Jesse (Aaron Paul) after Badger (Matt L. Jones) was caught by the DEA.
