There’s No 6th Season Premiere Date As Of Yet, However, The Writers Have Bigger Plans
Right now, Dan Harmon and other writers have actually confirmed the existence of a 6th season. However, it’s also true that they have bigger plans for the show. In other words, the writers or the creators of the show have already planned season 7.
