[[WMG: Some guesses about the upcoming Season 5 / ContinuityReboot that will be released on Creator/HBOMax in 2020.]]
* Due to popular demand from fans of the comic strip, Michael Caeser will ''finally'' make his animated debut.
* Although Uncle Ruckus will now be the BigBad, Ed Wuncler I will still nevertheless appear as a major recurring antagonist.
* Ed Wuncler III will return, but he'll get a new voice actor due to the death of Charlie Murphy ([[InMemoriam who will be remembered in the ending credits]]).
* While the overall tone will still be that of a satirical comedy, the show will become more of a serialized {{dramedy}} rather than an episodic sitcom, and will have more [[CerebusSyndrome occasional serious shifts]] [[DarkerAndEdgier in its tone]].
* Given the move from Creator/AdultSwim to Creator/HBOMax, the show will eagerly take advantage of the relative lack of censorship (there will be ''[[UpToEleven a lot more]]'' instances of uncensored profanity, sexual humor, and bloody violence).
* Not only will the show try to catch up on all the major news and current events between 2014 and 2020, it will become much more focused on them (similar to the later years of the comics). Everything from UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump to #[=BlackLivesMatter=] and immigration, the #{{MeToo}} movement (with special focus on Music/RKelly and Creator/BillCosby), [[SpreeKiller mass shootings]] and [[ThoseWackyNazis neo-fascist terrorism]], [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror the wars in]] [[UsefulNotes/TheArabSpring the Middle East]], etc.

violence.
* While the overall tone of the show will still be that of an irreverently satirical comedy, it will also become more of a serialized {{dramedy}} rather than just an episodic sitcom, and it will have more [[CerebusSyndrome occasional serious shifts]] [[DarkerAndEdgier in its tone]].
* We will learn much more about the history of the Freeman family; particularly the identities of Robert's wife, Huey's and Riley's parents, and what exactly happened to all of them. They'll be featured in {{flashback}}s that are (mostly) PlayedForDrama.
* Robert will get an AgeLift; he'll no longer be a UsefulNotes/WorldWarII veteran (because as of now, he'd be pushing near 100 years old). Instead he would be a veteran of the UsefulNotes/VietnamWar, which would also make him about the right age to have participated in the UsefulNotes/CivilRightsMovement as well.
* Due to popular demand from fans of the comic strip, Michael Caesar will ''finally'' make his animated debut after all these years. Bonus points if he's played by Creator/PhilLaMarr (a famous black voice actor who has been notably absent from ''The Boondocks'' in the past).
* Tom, Sarah, Jazmine, and Cindy will play a much greater role in the story (especially the latter three, because let's be honest, this show unfortunately tended to ignore its female characters most of the time).
* Although Uncle Ruckus will now be the BigBad, Ed Wuncler I will still nevertheless appear as a major recurring antagonist. Ed Wuncler II could also show up, though how similar/different he would be from his Season 4 incarnation is uncertain.
* Ed Wuncler III and Gin Rummy will also return, but Ed III will get a new voice actor due to the death of Charlie Murphy ([[InMemoriam who will be remembered in the ending credits]]).
* Obviously enough, you can't really have ''The Boondocks'' without making tons of jokes and references about African-American pop culture. There will probably be a lot of [[TakeThat jabs against]] the current state of hip-hop music in the 2010s and 2020s (so Gangstalicious' and Thugnificent's characters will probably be updated to reflect contemporary rappers).
* Not only will the show try to catch up on all the major news and current political events between 2014 and 2020, it will become much more focused on them (similar to the later years of the comics). Everything Topics that will be satirized range from UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump to #[=BlackLivesMatter=] and immigration, the #{{MeToo}} movement (with special focus on Music/RKelly and Creator/BillCosby), [[SpreeKiller mass shootings]] and [[ThoseWackyNazis neo-fascist terrorism]], [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror the wars in]] [[UsefulNotes/TheArabSpring the Middle East]], etc.

Besides Luna's matches being explicitly based off of ''VideoGame/MortalKombat'', there is the noteworthy detail that everyone seems to be skilled at fighting, but no normal training or tactics is ever mentioned. Ed III doesn't act like a combat vet, he acts like he's living in a First Person Shooter. Huey seems to have learned how to wield a katana by watching Anime/SamuraiChamploo, and Cindy seems to have learned to fight by watching {{Naruto}}.

[[WMG: The Wuncler family's corporation will end with Edward III.]]
Ed III seems to be nothing more than a dim-witted wigger gangster. He seems to lack the intelligence and business management skills of his father and grandfather. Something tells me that when he comes of age to take the family fortune, he will squander it by misspending and overspending it until he goes broke. On the bright side, this would end the economic and political stranglehold that the Wuncler family has over Woodcrest.



[[WMG: Lamilton Teshawn grows up to become a serial killer.]]
It's made obvious by the episode that he's quite evil anyway. Lamilton has all the traits of a stereotypical (homicidal) psychopath: He was [[FreudianExcuse raised by]] AbusiveParents, has no regard for the life and safety of others, commits an act of animal cruelty, and becomes violently angry towards other people at the drop of a hat.

[[WMG: Luna was a werewolf.]]
Her name is Latin for Moon. Granddad nicknames her the "Killer Kung-Fu Wolf Bitch", because she mentioned that she likes being surrounded by wolves. Had their dating relationship not gone sour, one night of the full moon later, she would be trying to eat him anyway.
