Season 6 has been officially titled “Book Six: Stars.”

Netflix aims for a 2024 premiere of “Book Six: Stars.” However, considering the show’s previous release patterns, the exact release window remains uncertain. The first season premiered in September 2018, followed by season 2 in February 2019. Season 3 arrived in November 2019, but a significant hiatus led to the release of the next season in November 2022. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and reported challenges within Wonderstorm contributed to these delays. With hopes that the creators have regained control, fans can anticipate the planned 2024 release.
