Posted on the 18 September 2021 by Jitender Sharma

“BoJack Horseman” is surely one among the most critically acclaimed Netflix series that’s adultly animated. It has covered various aspects like depression, self-destructive behavior, sexuality, trauma, racism, sexism, and addiction. The viewers of “Bojack Horseman” became great fans of its strong take on the storyline and many of them wanted to see the Bojack Horseman season 7 of this Netflix series. However, they won’t ever probably see another returning season of this Hollywood satire. 

This adult-animated American dark comedy-based web television series was created by Bob Waksberg. The first season of this show was released on Netflix on the 22nd of August, 2014. In the initial episodes, it experienced a mixed response from the viewers, but the creators were confident enough. Therefore, they kept renewing the series for future installments. On Netflix, there are a total of 7 seasons and the last season was released n 2020. Since then, the fans of such adult sitcom series are looking forward to another season, but perhaps their demand won’t be fulfilled. 

What’s the latest renewal status of Bojack Horseman Season 7? 

Even before the premiere of the 6th season of “Bojack Horseman” was completed, Netflix has announced the cancellation of the 7th installment. Bob Waksberg, the creator of this series, has revealed that Netflix had informed them about the cancellation long ago so that they would be able to animate. To write an appropriate ending for the series. As the creator was opting to continue the installments for some more years, this decision by the streaming giant would be unfortunate for him as well. His statement also supports that. 

Waksberg said that he desired that this show would go for many more years. However, he thinks that because of the business policies of Netflix this streaming platform would take that decision that would best serve their purpose. Also, he mentioned that this web television show has streamed for 6 years and that’s also a significantly good run. Therefore, sadly, since Netflix itself has canceled the further installments of the series, there is almost zero chance of releasing the 7th season, even though there’s immense demand for it. 

If Bojack Horseman 7 Season would have happened, what would be the story? 

In the finale season, i.e. the 6th season, the creator Bob Waksberg had altered the plotline a little to offer it a satisfying and original ending. At the end of the season, the viewers saw that BoJack got almost drowned in the swimming pool. However, he survived somehow. Also, he was ready to get his life back on track after he served the jail sentence. 

Therefore, the ending of 6h season portrays that BoJack was hopeful about his future. Hence, the 7th season would have concentrated on that exact aspect of his life. In that season, BoJack’s life could turn to be more inspiring, and there would be scope for him for further exploration of his sexuality. But, all of the probabilities are now just a theory as the streaming giant has already confirmed that the 7th season of this adult-animated Amecian series would not return. Firstly the decision was not taken by the creator but fortunately, Netflix offered him the hints that the 6th season would be the series finale and therefore he became able to create an appropriate sendoff to the show. 

Is there any chance of “BoJack Horseman” returning with the 7th season? 

The 6th season of BoJack Horseman has ended with a clear conclusion; hence it’s not likely that there is some huge unresolved cliffhanger that would push the fans for demanding a further season. However, it seems hugely possible that if given the choice, Bob Wakesberg would have kept going for many more future seasons. But, the creation of new episodes is surely stopped.
