Netflix’s stable of original content is only getting bigger. The streaming company announced today that it will release the animated series BoJack Horseman for streaming audiences in mid-2014. The new series will star Will Arnett in the titular role, with Aaron Paul as his human sidekick and Amy Sedaris as his feline ex-lover. The show will follow BoJack, a humanoid horse and former star of the fake ‘90s sitcom Horsin’ Around, as he grapples with everyday personal problems — like equine alcoholism.

Meanwhile, Aaron Paul is obviously a hot commodity considering his roles in Breaking Bad and his role in the upcoming Need for Speed.
