Comedy Central Buys Reruns of Netflix's 'BoJack Horseman'
"BoJack Horseman" is galloping to Comedy Central, marking the first time a Netflix series has aired on a broadcast or cable network in the U.S.
Comedy Central acquired the exclusive linear TV rights to the first five seasons of the dark animated comedy. The network will begin airing the reruns, starting with Season 1, on September 26, right after the Season 22 premiere of "South Park."
Meanwhile, Netflix will debut Season 5 of "BoJack Horseman" on September 14.
"BoJack Horseman" is not owned by Netflix. It was one of the first series orders made by the streaming service when it was still a newcomer in the original programming space and was buying shows from outside production companies. Now, it becomes the first Netflix original to air on other channels.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the sale helps further monetize the show at a time when top producers are complaining about a lack of back-end profits. Syndication has been a big source of money for television producers in the past.
"BoJack Horseman" centers on a washed-up horse star (voiced by Will Arnett) of a formerly popular sitcom. Aaron Paul, Amy Sedaris, Alison Brie and Paul F. Tompkins are also part of the voice cast.
