Bojack's phone call to Kyle in Season 5, is going to result in a confrontation with Charlotte in Season 6.
There's no way that dumb decision that Bojack made isn't going to bite him in the ass later on.- It's not the phone call, which she didn't know about (and seemingly never will), but reporters bugging Penny for her side of the Sarah Lynn story.
Charlotte isn't coming back, guys.
Because the New Mexico story has already come back to haunt Bojack. She won't return to kill Bojack, or drive him to suicide, or even just call him out. This show is not a gritty revenge drama. Besides, Bojack is doing just fine on making himself miserable.- Jossed. She's back in "Good Damage," though she doesn't want to pursue the issue with BoJack anymore.
Charlotte has moved past the incident with BoJack and Penny, but will try to confront him about calling Kyle.
Him being in rehab will keep her from doing so, so she'll try to turn to Princess Carolyn to find out where he is, due to their business relationship. Through a misunderstanding caused by Princess Carolyn's new daughter crying, Charlotte will come to believe BoJack has been reduced to a blubbering mess due to paranoia caused by her threat. It will be revealed Charlotte never intended to kill BoJack since she just doesn't feel capable of it, even if she really did want to kill him at the time. They do get in contact after he leaves rehab and he explains the truth, admitting that the incident was partly why he was turning to drugs. She never goes to Hollywood; no epic battle, no blood, no murder, no media scandal, nothing. Just two former friends clarifying that they want the past to be the past and not have to see or think one another again.- Jossed, except for the fact that Charlotte didn't want to kill BoJack and in her last appearance seems she'd rather drop the matter altogether rather than get her family into more trouble.
BoJack will spend most of Season 6 in and out of rehab.
Because giving up alcohol, tobacco, painkillers, and every other drug known to man, will very obviously be quite a difficult challenge for a depressed addict like him.- Sort of confirmed. He breaks out in episode 1 but ends up back due to a misunderstanding, and later struggles to leave in episode 5. However, he is out by episode 7.
Things go terribly for Bojack in rehab.
When have things ever turned out exactly right for him?- Alternately, Bojack doesn't get into any terrible mess while he's in the drug rehab center. However, Bojack being Bojack, he will eventually relapse back into his old habits of substance abuse for one reason or another.
- The second part of the WMG is inverted. He maintains his own sobriety fairly well, but gets into some messes with helping Jameson escape (and then return to) rehab, and when throwing out her bottle of vodka accidentally sends Doctor Champ falling off the wagon.
BoJack will, against every viewer's expectations, actually quit all of his drug addictions for good.
It's not going to be easy, but he can try. And besides, sooner or later it will get kinda old seeing Bojack always succumb to his vices and go crashing back to square one every season.- He actually does stay sober for the whole first half of season six, despite some temptations and almost drinking from a bottle of vodka before spitting it out immediately, but time will tell whether it'll continue to the end of the series...
- It doesn't, as he has a bad relapse in the third-to-last episode that nearly kills him, but by the end of the series he's kept a sober streak and intends to keep it that way.
Season 6 will extend what went on with Season 4, and make BoJack absent for half the season.
And on top of this, we might have an episode or two centered around those that BoJack has hurt in the past, such as Wanda, Penny, and Gina. The reason for this? Gina's line in the season finale - "I don't want my life defined by what you did to me." What better way to reinforce that than to put it into practice within the show?- Jossed for the first half of the season at least, but the idea still remains in the episode "A Quick One, While He's Away," which follows Kelsey, Gina, and Hollyhock without BoJack showing up or being directly mentioned once. He also doesn't physically appear for most of "Good Damage."
Diane hasn't signed the divorce papers.
Notably, the last time we saw anything of the official documents was when Mr. Peanutbutter handed them off to her. Given she'd been internally torn up about it throughout season 5, it's possible she didn't have the heart to sign them or possibly even just forgot to do so. Which has the potentially to throw a huge wrench into Mr. Peanutbutter's proposal to Pickles. What was BoJack hallucinating in "The Showstopper"?
Throughout the episode, we saw things from BoJack's perspective as he underwent Sanity Slippage from the cocktail of booze and painkillers, with that perspective taking a break as he's choking Gina. This creates an Ambiguous Situation as to "who" he was strangling - was he strangling Gina for taking his pills and leaving him, or was Philbert strangling Sassy because she knew too much? Or as a third option - he was strangling himself, as - potentially - foreshadowed by Todd's line in Season 4 ("You are everything that's wrong with you!"), his general self-loathing, and his overt statement in "Head in the Clouds" where he feels he's the one who's suffered most at his hands. This would also explain why he saw the balloon mascot of himself-as-Philbert at the top of a Stairway to Heaven, as well as why he was so eerily calm throughout the season finale - he believes he'd "killed" the part of himself he hates. There will eventually be an episode about Todd Chavez's family.
Out of the five main protagonists, we still don't know too much about his family life and backstory yet.- Todd's father will be voiced by Bryan Cranston, for no other reason than to make Casting Gag jokes referencing Breaking Bad (and maybe Malcolm in the Middle toonote ).
- Not sure who would be best suited for playing Todd's mother. Does anyone have any guesses for who could fill in that role?
- Milla Jovovich! Think about it, her attempting to sound anything like Aaron Paul as Todd would be hilarious.
- His parents will be played by an actor named Aaron and an actress named Erin.
- Jossed. His father is played by Jaime Camil.
- The trailer all but confirms this. A figure named Jorge (presumably Todd's dad) approaches Todd with information about his mother.
- Confirmed! "The Kidney Stays in the Picture" introduces us to Todd's stepfather and their rocky family dynamic.
Pickles will become pregnant.
This will result in Mr. Peanutbutter and Pickles falling apart, splitting up, and then either giving up the puppy/puppies for adoption or decide if Mr. Peanutbutter should keep the puppies and raise them himself due to his wealth. Either way, this incident will force Mr. Peanutbutter to grow up.- Peanutbutter would probably ask Pickles to get an abortion, but unlike Diane she refuses to even consider that idea. This is going to cause problems, because Peanutbutter previously expressed a desire to not have children. Having his new girlfriend/fiance/wife deciding to keep the baby would provide some obvious conflict and tension.
- Jossed.
There will be an episode titled "Equine Therapy".
Because the showriters wouldn't pass up on a pun like that.- Jossed (at least in the first half), but the writers did use the pun. BoJack's counselor in rehab is a self-described therapy horse.
There will be a subplot about Princess Carolyn struggling with motherhood.
The show has already proven that Babies Make Everything Better is not true with BoJack's family, so there's no way things will be easy for Carolyn. She will try to balance motherhood and her job (or at least some semblance of it), but it's going to take the whole season for her to find it.- Confirmed. Most of this is explored in "The New Client."
Season 6 will focus on the secondary protagonists' flaws in further depth, and it will be ugly.
For most of the first few seasons (with some exceptions), secondary characters like Todd, Mr. Peanutbutter, Diane, and Princess Carolyn (to a lesser extent) haven't had much of their personal failings analyzed in-depth. So, with Bojack seemingly out of the picture for most of next season, these characters will have greater focus placed on them. Each of them will have more stories centered around them, and how their actions have also affected others. Bojack definitely has a lot to answer for, but it's not like he's the only one whose hands are dirty.- Season 6 is largely focused on BoJack's flaws, but the other characters do all get A Day in the Limelight at some point where their issues are further explored. Todd and especially Diane get more development regarding their traumas and personal issues.
Diane will not survive into Season 6.
Okay so this is wildly speculative, but it's something that came up when discussing the finale with some friends. In the finale of Season 5, Diane drives away after dropping Bojack off at rehab and things finally seem to be looking up for her. Her character arc seems complete, and while there is still plenty of interesting things that can be done with her character, it seems like most of her plot threads have been resolved.Now, in "Bobo the Angsty Zebra", Diane is given the moniker of "Diana, Princess of Whales" for the story, and several jokes are made about the real Diana's untimely death, such as Diane being told to live her life "like a Candle in the Wind". Princess Diana famously died after her car crashed in a tunnel while trying to flee from paparazzi, and while the show has never shied away from depicting how toxic paparazzi and Hollywoo can be on celebrities, it's the last shot that really cinched it for me. The last shot of the finales have always invoked powerful and moving imagery, like Bojack staring at the wild horses in Season 3 or his smile to Hollyhock in Season 4. What's the final shot of Season 5? Diane, finally ready to get her life back on track, peacefully driving away from Los Angeles... and into a tunnel.
The show has never been a stranger to using some brilliantly devastating foreshadowing (like all the mentions of Henrietta and The Baby in Season 4, and the "Choking women is bad" thing from "Bojack the Feminist" this season), and I'm really worried that these are all hints that Diane's not going to be with us next season...
- Jossed. Diane is alive in the first half of season 6, and for the rest of the series.
Flip McVicker and Elliot Alderson are two sides of the same coin.
Elliot is an antisocial, deeply troubled genius who has a habit of considering others to be beneath him in some way. Take out the 'genius' part and that's basically Flip. It's fairly obvious that some of the aspects of Flip's character and appearances were written in as a Shout-Out to Elliot, since Elliot is one of Rami Malek's best-known roles; most notable is the scene in Princess Carolyn's office at the end of the season, where Flip wonders aloud if he was PC all along, before smearing her lipstick all over his face and saying 'oh, fish!' in a high-pitched voice.Flip is utterly convinced of his own genius (even the Creator Breakdown he suffers during "INT. SUB" seems to have been calculated to get Diane to praise and comfort him) and refuses to ever accept that maybe, just maybe, he's not as brilliant as he thinks he is. He refuses to attempt to better himself in any way, using his 'I'm just too troubled for you guys to understand me' schtick as a shield against actually trying to be a nice person for once, and seems to have at least one legitimate mental health issue. Flip, essentially, sees himself as Elliot.
- Also, in Mr. Robot, Elliot's dog is named Flipper.
There's more to Flip than we might think.
OK, so it's very well established by now that Flip is a creepy, self-absorbed narcissist with some...questionable attitudes regarding women. But if you look closer, some even less savory aspects of who he is as a person begin to emerge: he's got a weirdly childish streak (having meltdowns and getting stroppy whenever things don't go his way), and the way he talks about his mother can be a bit odd. Then there's the scene with him smearing Princess Carolyn's lipstick all over his face and imitating her saying 'oh, fish!'.About halfway through watching season five for the first time, I actually started wondering if they were going to go down a slightly Norman Bates-ish route with Flip. Flip may not have killed anyone yet, but who's to say he won't snap at some point? It's admittedly unlikely that he'll reappear in Season 6 (the writers have a history of dropping characters like Flip after their relevant season is over, and even if they wanted to keep him on for longer, Rami Malek's schedule might not allow it), but if he did, I wouldn't be surprised if he'd completely lost his mind in the wake of Philbert getting cancelled.
The writers going down the route of making him a straight-up Serial Killer seems... unlikely (yes, the show's used Black Comedy plenty of times, but the writers have their limits); maybe it turns out Flip's mother died of natural causes, and he's been playing dress-up (and probably not very well, if the way he applies PC's lipstick is anything to go by).
Bojack will be forced to be the "good friend", and this might actually change him for the better.
One of Bojack's problems is that he relies on others to be there for him to solve his needs. This inevitably wears away at their patience. Bojack might himself be forced to pick up the slack for his friends. It not only makes understand the sacrifices people have gone through for him, but it also helps pull him out of his depression.- "The Face of Depression" does have him help a lot of his friends without expecting anything in return. He helps Diane accept and address her depression, he helps Princess Carolyn accept that she needs help at work so she can spend time with Ruthie, and he helps Todd get a date by recommending his app to a rabbit who he assumes is asexual. He also tries to give Hollyhock advice on her problem with her friend, but she resolves it on her own.
Princess Carolyn's adopted baby will become addicted to vaping.
All throughout Seasons 3 and 4, there was a running joke about big corporations making it legal to get babies addicted to vaping. This feels like a Brick Joke / Chekhov's Gun that's about ready to go off. I don't know whether it will be played for comedy or drama though. It could be that Bojack starts vaping to try to forget drugs, and Untitled Princess Carolyn Project gets a hold of one of his stash. Either way, it would be a waste to not use this plot thread, since a baby finally joined the main cast. I could be wrong though.- Jossed.
Princess Carolyn's baby will be named Amelia.
Because PC was a huge fan of the Amelia Earheart movie about following your dreams, and she considers the baby a dream realized.- Jossed. Her name is Ruthie, a Call-Back in itself.
The Precision F-Strike of Season 6 will be aimed at someone other than Bojack.
The rule of using "fuck" once a season when Bojack irreparably ruins a relationship has been broken before. In Season 4, Bojack himself dropped the F-bomb indirectly at his abusive mother, one of the few relationships he has actually managed to repair (in a sense). Now, as some of the above theories suggest, Bojack going to rehab could possibly change him for the better. In response, the show could throw another, bigger curve ball by dropping the F-bomb on someone else, with Bojack having minimal or no involvement. The question is, who?What about Mr. Peanutbutter? He has divorced three wives due to his impulsive Manchild personality that he refuses to change about himself, and having learned nothing, is now engaged to Pickles in what could very well lead to another inevitably doomed marriage. That's not even putting into consideration the possibility that Diane may not have signed the divorce papers, or Pickles getting pregnant and deciding to keep the puppies. Mr. Peanutbutter will eventually be given a "Reason You Suck" Speech (most likely by Diane or Pickles) that ends with the F word hitting him hard over the head, potentially signalling a long overdue Character Development moment for him.
- The first half of the WMG is confirmed, but it's not at Mr. Peanutbutter. It's used at Gina when she has a breakdown on set.
Mr. Peanutbutter will divorce Pickles for another dog lady.
And her name will be Jelly.- A dog lady named Jelly is unlikely since they already had that joke way back in episode two, with Mister Peanutbutter nonsensically naming his reality show "Peanutbutter and Jelly" and then lucking out when his intern Angela happens to go by the nickname Jelly. However, it'd be interesting to find another Jelly and maybe even have a Call-Back by reviving that show.
- Jossed.
Ralph will get married, and Princess Carolyn will try to stop it.
In-between season 5 and season 6, Ralph, bouncing back from PC and all the heartbreak involved, has put his life in order, gotten better at standing for himself and met someone who makes him happy. Princess Carolyn, reeling from Philbert's cancellation and now with a baby, gets an invitation (which could serve as a callback to their first meeting). After initially dismissing it, she starts feeling regret and pain from seeing someone who seemed good for her find happiness with other, even if she denies it at first. She has a Race for Your Love-type of story while she sees the writing in the wall more and more that she's making a mistake. When PC and Ralph meet again, PC tries to get him to reconsider initially, only for Ralph to say he has. Then, they talk about what went wrong (briefly pointing the fingers at each other) and PC admits she pushed him away while Ralph admits he was kind of a pushover too. While they reconcile, Ralph tells PC how he met his bride and how happy she makes him. PC silently agrees and tells him she'll leave a gift in the table. Also, she'll keep the promise: she'll leave afterwards, because she doesn't have (read:want) to see the wedding. Stopping to fill the tank, she smiles while tears run down her cheeks. Back to Hollywoo.- Jossed. Ironically, it's Princess Carolyn who gets married by the end of the series.
Mr. Peanutbutter will run out on Pickles.
We can tell he knows that he's giving into his vices by proposing to her, but he definitely isn't mature enough to come clean about his issues; instead, he'll "disappear" for a while, letting the world believe he's dead or hiding out in Bahrain. In actuality, he's with his brother and nephews. This will backfire horrifically, with it seriously affecting the lives of Diane, Pickles, and others. Internet conspiracy theorists will also target Diane and even Pickles, accusing them of foul play and harassing them.- Jossed, for the time being.
- It's actually the other way around.
PC will encounter someone who is prejudiced against porcupines, and makes jokes at their expense.
This will lead to Princess Carolyn calling them out, but the individual will turn out to be Jewish and either they or another anti-porcupine person will use that to claim anyone who accuses them of being bigoted is actually antisemitic. The jerks will be very flat characters, but it wouldn't be a full-on political allegory anyway; This will just be something to make PC feel unsure if she can protect her child as she grows up.- Jossed.
Pickles will die.
Due to Mr. Peanutbutter cheating on her with Diane, it's clear that his relationship with Pickles will not last, but him just divorcing her like he did with his three previous wives would be too repetitive and unspectacular. Rather, she will somehow die before he gets the chance to admit his faults to her. This will be a major Break the Cutie for Mr. Peanutbutter. While he is probably the happiest main character on the show, he has no plans for or purpose in life and his happiness is mainly grounded in people withholding the truth from him, with his family claiming to him that his parents traveled away instead of dying being the main example. This is also an example for the one thing capable of penetrating his bliss: the death of his loved ones. His three biggest freak-outs were when he feared Diane could die during her travels, when his brother could have died from a twisted spleen and when he realized his parents were dead for years. This time his grief would be amplified by his guilt, which would manage to destroy his up-beat attitude completely. Considering Mr. Peanutbutter's shallow lifestyle and disregard for searching meaning, bursting his bubble would cause him to fall into a depression even more severe than BoJack's.- Jossed, as far as we know.
Diane will grow close with someone, but when that person ends up in a life-threatening situation, Diane will fall into despair and blame herself for it, similar to how Bojack blamed himself for both Sarah Lynn and Gina.
Diane was not on the best terms with Bojack this season. During her fight with him, she coldly mentions what happened with Sarah Lynn in response to Bojack saying that he is his own victim. So what if something similar happens with her when she meets someone important. She already lost Kinko in season 2. Diane might end up meeting up with a positive and full of life person who teaches her how to live life and he/she might end up becoming her own Morality Pet. And suppose that character ends up getting attacked by someone and ends up in the hospital, Diane might have a breakdown and blame herself for what happened with him/her. Then she will realize that Bojack may have been shitty with her and everyone else, but this is exactly how he felt when he lost Sarah Lynn and was about to lose Hollyhock. Bojack visits her and comforts her and she apologizes for what she said about Sarah Lynn earlier and they both reconcile.- Diane does enter a new romantic relationship, but in the first half of the season he seems to be good health. Their issue is more about Diane's wariness to commit to him and later her not addressing her depression.
- However, in the final couple episodes, Diane failing to answer a call from a drug-addled BoJack leads to him almost drowning, and the guilt weighs on her to the extent that she almost doesn't move to Houston with Guy.
A possible variant of the above theory.
Diane gets a phone call from one of her brothers saying that her mother has died, so she prepares to return to Boston for the weekend for the funeral. Although she initially dreads it due to hating everything her old home represents for her, she, in spite of herself, begins to bond with one of her brothers, seeing a more empathetic and vulnerable side of him. However, Diane lashes out at her brother when he admits to being a victim of sexual assault, believing he is mocking her fears of sexual assault and rape as an American feminist woman. This could address a criticism of the show that has come up recently in regards to how, despite its blunt and emotionally honest calling out of social structures that normalize all forms of abuse of women, it hasn't handled male-on-male, female-on-male, or female-on-female abuse or sexual assault nearly as well, as well as address a line of thinking among a few feminists where their feelings on the patriarchy have made them apathetic or antipathetic to male rape and reacting to stories of it with denial and indignation. After eulogizing her mother in a fashion similar to how Bojack eulogized his own mother in Season 5 (albeit far shorter than Bojack's eulogy), Diane seems to realize how mean it was of her to dismiss her brother's trauma and attempts to apologize, only to find out that he committed suicide. The rest of Diane's brothers demand that she leave and never come back, and this could even be the once-per-season F-bomb moment. Diane holds in how bad she feels until the next time she sees Bojack again, where she explodes in tears, admitting to her self-hatred about her treatment of her family and realizing that this is how Bojack has felt more than a few times, and apologizes to Bojack for what she said during their fight in Season 5. Bojack, desperate for his friendship/relationship with Diane to be more good than bad, is very empathetic to Diane, or at least as empathetic as he knows how to be, though he doesn't exactly accept her apology, not because he's too angry with her, but because he believes she was right about him in their fight and now, after rehab, doesn't want to be defined by his self-pity anymore. Bojack and Diane reconcile regardless, and they accept that, even if everyone and everything else in their lives is awful, they'll always be there to rely on each other.- The brother Diane bonds with will most likely be Gary, the literal black sheep of the family.
- Jossed. Her brothers never show up again.
Diane may be headed down the similar path as Danaerys Targaryen.
We saw what happened with Danaerys in season 8. After losing so many things and being betrayed several times, she burned down King's Landing and turned into a tyrant. Both Diane and Danaerys start off as young leaders who want to change the world. It may be possible that Diane might go down the same path as her, except she won't cause a massacre. In Season 5, we saw her turn into a cold and bitter woman after going through so many rough patches, eg. her divorce from Mr. Peanutbutter and finding out about the New Mexico incident. This caused her to do actions against Bojack which she ended up feeling remorseless about. So what if Mr. Peanutbutter's engagement to Pickles serves as The Last Straw for her before she completely snaps.- The engagement doesn't seem to have fazed her. She seems completely over Mr. Peanutbutter now that she's moved and found love again, and while she's suffering from depression, she's actually a less cold and bitter person than she was in Season 5. However, she could always snap in Part 2 for some other reason...
Bojack's next love interest will be a woman he meets in rehab, who will bond with him over their addiction and other toxic behaviors, only for those behaviors to damage the relationship.
Bojack will find a woman who is very similar to him and connect with her desire to stop hating herself and hurting others (sort of like how he befriended Sarah Lynn, without all the historical baggage). This could go two ways. Bojack might halt her progress, intentionally or not, due to his awful fear of losing one of the few people who gets his mindset. On the flip side, this woman might halt Bojack's recovery for the same reasons, leaving Bojack with a taste of his own toxic medicine. This could make a great follow up to the themes of gender politics in season 5, as we get an in-depth exploration of how toxic women are perceived versus toxic men.- Jossed. He does connect to a teenage girl with the same issues in the first episode, but obviously not in a romantic context.
The Precision F-Strike will be used twice in Season 6.
It's the final season and it's split in two parts. The F-word will be used once during the first half of the season, most likely relating to Bojack in some way. Then the final time it is used is around the Grand Finale, and it is aimed at someone else.- The first half's F-bomb being used against BoJack is jossed. It's used against Gina by one of her costars. It's not used at all in the second part.
In the final season of the series, BoJack's final conflict will be with his own physical health — if not death itself.
By this last season, BoJack will have done his best to conquer his inner demons, and (more or less) resolve most of his social and emotional problems. However, BoJack's psyche won't be the only thing haunting him, but also all the unhealthy vices that have damaged his body over the years; from overeating junk food, to abusing alcohol/tobacco/drugs, to his sexual promiscuity (think what nasty STDs he could've caught). BoJack may discover that he's suffering from cardiovascular disease, liver failure, perhaps even AIDS or cancer. Regardless of whether or not BoJack can overcome any of these diseases, he'll have to come to terms with his impending mortality.- It'll be the only thing he can't regain control of: his literal life.
- He does mention that he has a strand of herpes, albeit as a joke ("I wish I was asexual, that way I wouldn't have a strand of herpes!"), but this show is known to take passive gags like that and then later expand on them to make you miserable, so there's a possibility that it will come back.
- And the last scene will be him surrounded by or getting supportive calls from all of the friends he either gained or re-gained over the course of the series through his efforts to better himself. Unlike the incredibly bleak death he wrote for himself on Horsin' Around, BoJack doesn't die of a broken heart because he's all alone and nobody loves him, rather he dies peacefully knowing that yes, people do like him. It's the ultimate Bittersweet Ending: "He who dies with the most toys (or, in this case, friends) and still dies, but at least you die knowing you have them."
- He almost dies, but it's through an accidental drowning, and he still manages to survive.
Correlating to this, Bojack will donate his body to the glue factory.
He can finally repair what's been broken. For bonus points, the first thing his glue will be used to fix is a telescope.- Jossed.
Bojack has a Bittersweet Ending.
The show doesn't indulge in sentimentality and a happy ending where your problems can be solved in 30 minutes. Many people's issues can linger throughout one's life. Bojack isn't going to be dramatically cured, nor will he suddenly be clean.But... that might not necessarily be a bad thing. While Bojack might not be able to avoid regressing, he might still be able to be there for his friends. As his relationship with Hollyhock demonstrates, he is not completely hopeless. But that doesn't mean he gets a fairy tale ending.
- Confirmed.
How the series will end with each character.
- Bojack will finally overcome his personal issues in therapy. He's also been chosen to co-star in a new show alongside Mr. Peanutbutter. Unfortunately, by the mid-season finale, he will be diagnosed with cancer as a result of his history of drug and alcohol abuse. The second half of the season will show Bojack's physical health slowly deteriorating. What's worse, word gets out about Bojack's past actions and his career is put in jeopardy. Finally, Bojack is kicked off the show and his role in show business is put to an end, bringing him to a Heel Realization of what he did to Herb all those years ago and causing him to find inner peace within himself.
- He does confront most of his issues in therapy in rehab. He never gets a starring role with Mr. Peanutbutter but does cameo as a corpse on his TV show. While his physical health isn't really an issue, he does suffer massive consequences when every bad thing he's done is outed on television, losing his career opportunities, his money, and his house, and he only manages to find peace when he almost drowns and then gets arrested for a year.
- Mr. Peanutbutter will start to form cracks in his armor. The Season 6 trailer has made it apparent that he could wind up becoming just as depressed as Bojack, possibly more. Throughout the season his actions will start biting him in the butt; issues relating to Diane, Pickles and his overall career. Now about the show. In an inverse of what Bojack did to Herb, the executives will cohere Mr. Peanutbutter into firing Bojack. By the finale, Mr. Peanutbutter has become a wreck and looks to Bojack for forgiveness. Unlike Herb, Bojack will actually forgive his betrayer, signifying that he has gotten over his past actions and his past self, and giving Mr. Peanutbutter a Hope Spot as well.
- His issues do come back to bite him as Pickles breaks up with him and he's finally all alone, but in the end he manages to pull himself together and goes to therapy rather than going to BoJack for help (since BoJack spends the bulk of the season dealing with his own serious issues.)
- Diane will be Driven to Suicide after so many of her attempts to change the world as well as issues with her personal life have blown up in her face. However, she will soon decide not to off herself thanks to an encouraging speech from Bojack of all people. Bojack, now free from his career, will use what little time he has left to help Diane cope with her issues. This will give Diane the inspiration to write a book.
- Diane's issues resurfacing and her journey to write a book are confirmed, but she never even comes close to suicide despite her serious depression. However, BoJack giving her a speech in the middle of the season is what convinces her to take antidepressants and sets her on a more productive, albeit still strenuous, path.
- Princess Carolyn will be caught in conflicts between her job and child care. She also becomes concerned seeing the negative impacts show business can have on the youth (Sarah Lynn is brought up). She struggles throughout the season before finally finding a compromise.
- Confirmed, though she resolves this fairly early in the season by choosing Todd as a nanny. She then enters another arc regarding a relationship with Judah.
- Todd will gain a successful career, earning the happiest ending of the gang.
- Confirmed. He runs the daycare at Princess Carolyn's offices.
