Bojack Horseman Season 5 Recap

Bojack went through some hard times during season 5 and that’s putting it gently. Season 5 was the darkest season of the show so far by a country mile.

While Bojack has tried to become a better person over the course of the five seasons, life has always found a way to sabotage his progress.

Throughout the season we are shown the extent of BoJack’s addiction to painkillers. After losing the painkillers he had after Hollyhock flushed them down the toilet he tries to score more by driving head-on into traffic in the hope of injuring himself so he can get more painkillers.

His addiction culminates with him almost killing his co-star Gina after he blacks out from the meds. After nearly choking Gina to death she doesn’t choose to press charges in the fear of it defining her career. Diane tells BoJack that no one will hold him accountable, only he can do that himself.

As the season draws to a close BoJack attends rehab in the hope he can be helped with his painkiller addiction.

What to expect from Bojack Horseman season 6

With Bojack now in rehab, we expect to see a portion of the season dedicated to his time there. Some have speculated and wished for the whole season to be confined there with him looking to break out.

Some fans have speculated that Diane may be a casualty of season 6. It’s been foreshadowed for some time and the fact that Diane’s life hasn’t been going well could mean we see the big death of the show.

Todd’s season will likely include a similar amount of dallying around like previous seasons. We’re still waiting for Todd to finish his rock opera and with any luck, finally get his life together.

Princess Carolyn will be settling into this season with her new baby and it’ll be interesting to see how she adjusts a new mom.

Thanks to some new screenshots provided by Netflix, we get a first look into some of the scenarios we can expect from season 6.

Where is production on Bojack Horseman season 6?

The production of Bojack Horseman season 6 has wrapped up as of September 2019.

Thanks to an interview with Amy Winfrey, who is one of the directors on the show, she was able to give more insight into the development process.

We get a script from the writers, and then I start to pull visual references, things I think might be interesting. You know, inspiration. And then I show those to Raphael [Bob-Waksberg, BoJack creator]. Once I get the go-ahead from him, I talk to my board artists and assign out sequences, and we work on trying to make each part of the episode just as visually interesting as possible.

Speaking recently to ET Canada, Will Arnett didn’t clarify too much but did confirm that season 6 is of Bojack Horseman is definitely going to be released sometime in 2019. He also added that “we’re closing to being done” and that was back in May 2019.

Will there be a season 7 of Bojack Horseman?

Despite the show’s creator, Raphael Bob-Waksberg, expressing interest in continuing we now know that season 6 is due to be the final season of Bojack Horseman. In an interview, Raphael said:

“I won’t say as long as Netflix allows me to, because I don’t know where I’m going be, or what I’m going to be going, in the future. But as long as I feel like the show has promise, and Netflix allows us to, it’s a world that’s still worth expanding.”

Some of the cast members have begun saying goodbye to the character. Aaron Paul (who had just starred in El Camino on Netflix) said the following:
