Long Story Short Season 2 has been confirmed by Netflix. The renewal announcement was made in July 2025, even before the first season dropped on the platform. The decision showed the streamer’s faith in the show, and the movie certainly paid off, as the first season has been receiving rave reviews ever since it premiered.

The show has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and is steadily rising through the viewership charts. Series creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg released a humorous statement reacting to the show’s renewal, which read:

“Wow! A Season 2?! And Season 1 hasn’t even come out yet! It must be a REALLY good show. I can’t wait to watch it when it premieres on Netflix, Friday, Aug. 22! Let’s all do that!”

The potential release date of Long Story Short Season 2

The first season was ordered in August 2024 and was released a year later in August 2025. Since the second season has already been greenlit, it is expected to take a year to be produced. Hence, Season 2 could premiere on Netflix around August 2026. However, an official confirmation about the release date is awaited from the streamer.


What to expect from Long Story Short Season 2?

The upcoming season will continue to explore the lives of Avi, Shira, and Yoshi. Since the show takes place across different timelines, there are several incidents that can be portrayed in various episodes of the second season. The new chapter will bring out new stories from the siblings’ childhood and adulthood, and once again revolve around their interpersonal dynamics and familial issues.

The main voice cast members are expected to reprise their roles in the second installment. These include Ben Feldman as Avi Schwooper, Abbi Jacobson as Shira Schwooper, Max Greenfield as Yoshi Schwooper, Lisa Edelstein as Naomi Schwartz, Angelique Cabral as Jen Schwooper, Nicole Byer as Kendra Hooper, and Paul Reiser as Elliot Cooper.

At the same time, there could also be some new additions to the cast based on the storyline. As the second season approaches, Netflix might start announcing the list of actors who will play some fresh and exciting characters in the next set of episodes.

All episodes of Long Story Short Season 1 are streaming on Netflix.
