BEVERLY HILLS: Netflix is bringing back its animated adult comedy BoJack Horseman for a third season, and has also unveiled a new original documentary for its slate, Keith Richards: Under the Influence.

Season three of BoJack Horseman will feature 12 new episodes coming in 2016. The show is a Tornante production, brought to life by Michael Eisner's The Tornante Company. Seasons one and two are now streaming only on Netflix.

The internet TV network also added to its original documentary roster with Keith Richards: Under the Influence, which comes from the Academy Award-winning director Morgan Neville (20 Feet from Stardom, Best of Enemies). The doc spotlights the sounds and influences of rock and roll icon Keith Richards. It will be available exclusively to Netflix members worldwide on September 18.

Neville said: “If there’s a Mount Rushmore of rock ’n’ roll, Keith’s face is surely on it. He has always represented the soul of rock music—for all of the light and dark shades that implies. To my relief, Keith Richards turned out to be a real man—full of humor, knowledge and wisdom. That’s the real Keith we’ve worked to capture in our film and I’m honored to bring it to ​a global audience via Netflix.”

“There’s no one who could bring this unprecedented look into the musical influences of Keith Richards to life as distinctively as Morgan Neville,” added Lisa Nishimura, Netflix's VP of original documentary programming. “Our viewers around the world are going to love the rare moments he has captured.”

Netflix also announced premiere dates for Longmire and Aziz Ansari's new series Master of None. Longmire will become available in the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand on September 10. Master of None debuts in all Netflix territories on November 6. Coming soon to Netflix is Chelsea Does, a documentary film series with Chelsea Handler. In Q4, the service will launch the four-episode sketch comedy series With Bob and David, starring Bob Odenkirk and David Cross; Marvel’s Jessica Jones, starring Krysten Ritter and David Tennant; Sofia Coppola’s A Very Murray Christmas, starring Bill Murray; the third and final season of Hemlock Grove; and Bill Burr’s animated comedy series F is for Family, starring Burr, Laura Dern and Justin Long.
