Will There Be BoJack Horseman Season 6?
Will there be a BoJack Horseman Season 6? Can BoJack Horseman, the character, even handle a season 6?
BoJack Horseman is one of Netflix’s, and television’s very best shows. Ostensibly a comedy, BoJack Horseman also happens to be a searing psychological drama about one aging actor’s ego and depression. It’s a fun watch, of course, but things also happen to get pretty dicey for our beloved lead horse.
So with that in mind – what does show creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg have in mind for future seasons? According to an interview Bob-Waksberg gave with Metro, it sounds like he’s game for more if Netflix is. Here’s what Bob-Waksberg had to say:
“I’m always sure that every season is going to be the season that everyone turns on us, the season that we finally screw it up. Every year that doesn’t happen, it only increases the pressure for the following year. Someday, I’ll probably crack and walk away from the show because it’s killing me, but maybe I’ll wait until we get that eventual backlash. Though really, I’m going to keep making the show as long as I can. There might come a time when the show doesn’t excite me anymore, but there are still lots of stories and relationships to explore. It hasn’t gotten boring yet. There’s a danger of it becoming boring for an audience, maybe before it becomes boring for me, but as long as they still enjoy it, and I still enjoy it, I’m going to keep making it.”
Well there you go: ball is in Netflix’s court. Netflix is notably hesitant to cancel successful shows, but it’s still relatively early on in Netflix’s life and hasn’t had to confront a show with double-digit seasons yet. BoJack‘s status as an animated show bodes well for a long run.
BoJack Horseman comes from a time in Netflix’s life cycle in which it didn’t secure the worldwide rights to its shows. That’s why BoJack reruns are heading to Comedy Central in syndication. Will that effect BoJack‘s eventual destiny with Netflix? Who knows! But for now things are looking good for BoJack Horseman Season 6. More to come.
