At the beginning of Season 2, Princess Carolyn will discover that Vincent Adultman is actually three kids in a trench coat.
The writers seem to have set up this plot thread in season 1 to carry over into season 2, and it would be a yarn ball of thread for Princess Carolyn to play with. It would cause her to spend season 2 wondering what is wrong with herself.- Alternatively, Vincent will dump Princess Carolyn before things get too serious and will still figure out how to bullshit his way out of revealing himself.
- Jossed. They break up early on and, although seeing him as Kevin, she never realizes Vincent is actually three kids in a trenchcoat.
The Secretariat film will be a success.
Because BoJack will act so well in it.- Kind of. The Secretariat film is eventually a hit, but not because of BoJack's acting. BoJack is even replaced by a CGI version of himself in the final product. However, his "performance" is still a major source of the film's praise.
Alternatively, the Secretariat film will receive negative critical response.
Either due to BoJack being too old for the part or due to Executive Meddling messing up a perfectly good story. This could mirror the events of the Hollywood D movie in-universe.- Jossed (mostly). The Secretariat film does well because of the Executive Meddling changing the story from a gritty drama to a Cliché Storm.
Or, the Secretariat film will be an Acclaimed Flop.
- Also Jossed, see above. We don't hear much about the critical reception beyond its failure to land BoJack an Oscar nomination.
Charlotte will visit BoJack.
After reading the book that Diane wrote about him, she will want to see him again.- Jossed. BoJack actually visits Charlotte.
- Or, he'll do what he did with Herb and actually make the trip to go visit her in Maine, where he'll discover...
- Confirmed, though she lives in New Mexico, not Maine.
Charlotte already has a family.
She probably settled down with someone else. And BoJack accepting this will be his next personal issue to come to terms with after Herb's Rejected Apology.- Confirmed! She's married with two kids, which causes some awkwardness when she kisses BoJack and later sees BoJack alone with her daughter Penny and assumes the worst.
Sarah Lynn will die from a drug overdose.
This will send a wave of mixed emotions through BoJack. She briefly mentions in "Prickly Muffin" that she's perfectly aware that her party-hard lifestyle will eventually catch up with her and kill her at a young age. This could either make things more or less emotionally complicated.- Doesn't happen in Season 2, could still happen later.
- It happens in season 3 instead.
Todd will get another chance at success with his rock opera.
Because...because we need to hear more of the story about Newtopia, dammit! Not to mention that Todd now has directorial and entrepreneurial experience and has the resources (i.e. an eager Mr. Peanutbutter) to get it off the ground.- Jossed.
The Beast Buy receipt is still under the couch.
It will probably turn up again later as a Continuity Nod.- Jossed.*
An episode will focus on the actor who played Goober on Horsin' Around.
In the Christmas special, it was said that the actor who played Goober molested Laker girls. Considering the show's type of humor, this throwaway line may end up becoming an actual plot point.- While Goober does appear in the present in Season 2 at Herb's funeral, he doesn't have an episode focusing on him and the molestation charges are never brought up.
- He shows up in the third season, and he's even worse.
Vincent Adultman isn't actually three children in a trench coat.
He's just a very deformed man with tiny arms, forcing him to use a mannequin arm and broom.- Even less plausible now that we've seen Kevin in Season 2, but the series hasn't confirmed either way.
Herb will die, and BoJack will have to decide whether or not to attend his funeral.
If he goes, he'd be attending the funeral of a man who had every right to not want him there, but if he doesn't, it's disrespectful to a man who did so much for him, and either one would give him some form of selfish closure.- Confirmed. However, BoJack is not affected by the decision. He attends the funeral along with the rest of the cast of Horsin' Around in Season 2, and is perfectly aware that Herb would not have wanted him there.
Mr. Peanutbutter will eventually have to confront his problems head-on like BoJack.
"Later" revealed that Mr. Peanutbutter is just as cynical as everyone else and only does trivial hobbies to keep himself distracted. Eventually, he'll have to deal with his problems just like BoJack did, but it'll be harder because he's been kept his feelings so bottled up for so long.- Semi-confirmed. In "After the Party", he reveals to Diane through a huge argument than he's actually terrified of death and that he doesn't want her to go to Cordova because he's afraid he'll lose her forever if he does. He never confronts his problems to the extent BoJack does though.
The rest of the series is going to suck.
Season 1 is a Tough Act to Follow!- Jossed, as much as a theory based around an opinion can be. Season 2 has been very well-received and it's widely agreed to be even better than the first.
The John Stamos joke is going to be a lot less funny when the real John Stamos actually dies.
- A bit early to tell, though, since as of this writing, he's perfectly healthy.
BoJack will go through Tom Hanks Syndrome after the Secretariat movie.
And it will be hilarious!- In Season 2, the Secretariat movie ends up dropping all of it's dark, heavy themes and becoming a light-hearted Cliché Storm. And BoJack doesn't even act in the final version, instead just providing his likeness for CGI. So this seems unlikely.
An episode will contain a shout out to TV Tropes.
An episode will have a quick throw-away joke of BoJack browsing the TV Tropes article for Horsin' Around, or maybe he edits it and complains whenever something negative is said about the show.- Or will keep editing a lot of the more less favorable remarks to make them seem less harsh.
- Semi-confirmed: it doesn't appear in an episode proper, but one promo
involves BoJack sweetening up his page on Wiki/Wikipedia page.
- Semi-confirmed: it doesn't appear in an episode proper, but one promo
- A Season 3 episode drops a mention about tropes, which may be the closest we're going to get.
