Season 6 of "Bojack Horseman," one of Netflix's longest-running shows, is coming to an end It has been more than a year since the fifth season of the acclaimed Netflix original series "Bojack Horseman" was released But the troubled anthropomorphic animated animal (and human) cartoon returns this month to deliver yet another existential crisis
We were first introduced to the titular anti-hero - the washed-up, selfish, depressed alcoholic Bojack Horseman, a 90s sitcom actor - in August 2014 The show's first season suffered from poor pacing and meandering B-plots, but the show evolved over the years, exploring deeper and darker themes and successfully experimenting with one-off episodes (the nearly dialogue-free episode "Fish out of Water" in season 3 and the season 5 one-man monologue "Free Churro" come immediately to mind)
During Bojack's five years on Netflix, every character has struggled to cope with their emotions, behaviors, relationships, and general well-being Now, in the upcoming final season, it is finally time for them to grow up or die
Season 6 of "Bojack Horseman" will be available on Netflix in two parts Part 1 will be available on October 25, 2019, and part 2, which includes the series finale, will be available on January 31, 2020
The latest trailer for "Bojack Horseman," which was released online on January 15, shows the protagonist in a moment of pensive contemplation The narration is then revealed to be a segment from one of Bojack's therapy sessions
More interestingly, the therapist asks him questions, suggesting that his mood is finally changing
The first trailer for Season 6 of Bojack Horseman reveals many changes that seem to lie ahead for everyone:
We see Bojack attempting recovery and healing at Pastiches Malibu Rehab Clinic, Princess Carolyn is balancing motherhood and work, and Diane is trying to make a difference with her new Girl Croosh video The big question this film asks is: Are we doomed to repeat the same mistakes forever, or is it possible for people to change?

In Season 5, BoJack's addiction and recklessness reach a peak Despite friends and medical professionals urging Bojack to seek help, he continues to abuse alcohol and pills, both to cope with his past behavior and the sudden deaths of former co-star Sarah Lynn and his mother His addiction becomes so severe that the fictional world of his new TV character, Filbert, and his own reality begin to blur, leading Bojack to assault his new co-star Gina
Realizing the gravity of his actions, Bojack finally tries to come clean about all his past misdeeds, but Gina does not want her career to be constantly tied to Bojack's name and assault, and Diane tells Bojack that Hollywoo(d) will turn a blind eye to him anyway He tells her that he will only If he really wants to make amends, she says, he should take responsibility for his actions and seek professional help So in the last few minutes of the finale, Bojack finally relents and enters rehab
Meanwhile, Mr Peanutbutter, instead of breaking up with his girlfriend Pickles, asks her to marry him Overall, the finale hints at the personal growth of almost every character, setting up what should be an introspective final season
Our favorites (and not-so-favorites), including Will Arnett (Bojack), Alison Brie (Diane), Aaron Paul (Todd), Paul F Tompkins (Mr Peanutbutter), Amy Sedaris (Princess Carolyn) also) all returned As of this writing, no names have been released, but as in previous seasons, many other celebrity voices will be heard in guest roles
Creator and showrunner Raphael Bob-Waksberg, whose debut short story, Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory, was released earlier this year, will continue his showrun in the final season He will continue to work on the showrunner's final season And production designer/producer Lisa Hanawalt, whose wonderful show "Tuca & Bertie" was released this year and unfortunately cancelled, will continue her involvement in season 6
Netflix has had a rocky relationship with animated programming, so it is unclear whether Bob-Waksberg and Hanawalt will work together on a new show for the streaming service or pursue other projects "Tuca & Bertie" was canceled after one season, but Netflix recently announced a spin-off of "Big Mouth" titled "Human Resources"
Bob-Waksberg has published his first book and is producing a similarly existential show, "Undone," for Amazon Prime Video
Alison Brie will reprise her role as Ruth in the final season of "Glow," coming soon to Netflix, and Aaron Paul will reprise his role as Jesse Pinkman in the "Breaking Bad" sequel film "El Camino," also on Netflix on October 11
