BoJack Horseman Season 6: 7 Things It Must Do

Netflix recently announced that BoJack Horseman has been renewed for its sixth season, and in all honesty it's a surprise it took them this long. Considered to be one of if not the best Netflix Original the streaming service has to offer, the show was never a risk for the chopping block despite the spate of cancellations on the platform.

Though Season 5 perhaps didn't quite hit the heights of Season 4, it was still a fantastic season of television and brought us the spectacularly written Free Churro. BoJack has always been a show to keep the plot moving forward too, unlike many animated shows which wrap up in 22 minutes and end back where they started. Because of this, the ending to Season 5 placed a few characters at a crossroads for where to go next season.

The show likely won't be back on our screens until the third quarter of 2019, and while news of the renewal was expected, it's still heightened fan anticipation for the next season. The show has proven itself time and time again of being able to blend comedy with gritty storylines and detailed characterisation. Season 6 should be no different.

Princess Carolyn’s adopted daughter, tentatively named Untitled Princess Carolyn Project, marks a huge change in her life. The show has previously shown the reality of miscarriage with the pain in episodes like Ruthie. Although the show doesn't need to have her early days as a mother be quite so tragic, we need to see the reality of it.

TV shows have long detailed the day to day life of taking care of a baby, but the sleeplessness and various bodily fluids are often played for laughs. While BoJack Horseman is a comedy show, that doesn't really fit their humour. There'll be laughs in there, but they have to be built around a story too.

The worst thing the show could do would be to use it as a throwaway gag every now and then. With Philbert cancelled and BoJack out of the spotlight for a while, PC's job as a manager only really has Mr Peanutbutter to focus on. Given the developments in his relationship with Pickles, he might not require as much attention either. Being a mother will irrevocably change Princess Carolyn's life. Her plots will need to adjust accordingly too.
