Who Is The Ponytail Killer?
  • Coach Steve Sleepwalking
    • Coach Steve wouldn’t do it on purpose, but what if he has a secret darkness inside of him?
  • Leore
    • The Rabbi warns Andrew not to see his adult son Leore alone, because there is reason to fear him. Leore had a "wigs for religious dogs" business and we actually see some of the wigs in his closet in Guy Town. They are the right length and color to have been human ponytails.
  • One of Jay's brothers
    • Those two are not well in the head
  • Bob Reedy
  • The guy in the red Mazda
    • I mean, there was an amber alert, so...
  • Lars
    • He could be faking being handicapped to throw people off the scent.
  • It will be a completely new character nobody ever seen before, deliberately done as a way of trolling the fans who were trying to figure out who the Ponytail Killer is.

Andrew Will Get Worse Before He Gets Better
After the Valentine's Day debacle, Andrew is going to have to face even more humiliation at school than ever before since so many kids recorded what happened at Lola's party. Worse, Nick's new Hormone Monstress is Connie. When Connie was with Jessi she encouraged her to throw unpopular Missy under the bus in order to win favor with popular Devin. She is similarly likely to push Nick to start avoiding Andrew. Missy was greatly disturbed by how Andrew treated her and outraged by what Andrew did to Lars. So she is unlikely to forgive him quickly. Jessi was likewise appalled. Finally, his baldness is going to attract a lot of mockery. Andrew is likely to be very angry and isolated, which will lead to even worse behavior. It has been shown many times that Maury has little ability to restrain Andrew's worst impulses. At best, the Shame Wizard (who at least likes him) will nonetheless be preying on his mind. At worst, the Depression Kitty may enter his life.
  • Confirmed. Andrew becomes noticeably worse during seasons 4 and 5. This really peaks when he develops a crush on a substitute teacher, whose fiancé he literally threatens to murder in order to pressure the teacher to focus on him. He also gets the teacher fired by faking having been the victim of sexual advances, rather than the initiator.

Jessi will develop feelings for Matthew
It's not uncommon for straight women to develop close, almost intimate friendships with gay men, and Jessi and Matthew seem to be heading that way since spending Valentine's Day together. Plus, she's at an awkward age, and even though things with her home life seem to be improving, she's got a lot of personal issues to work through. So, maybe she'll end up falling for Matthew, since he's a source of comfort and hanging out with him is a lot less complicated than say, hanging out with Nick or Jay. Of course, Matthew won't reciprocate, because he's gay (and will maybe be hanging out with the other gay kid he met at Walmart).
  • Jossed in Season 3. Jessi actually feels that Guy on Guy Is Hot and puts serious effort into helping Matthew hookup with Aiden.

Caleb has a crush on Matthew
In "Rankings", Matthew brings Aiden to Devin and Devon's wedding as his plus-one. Seeing this, Caleb remarks "I don't like Aiden." This seems unusual, as the statement comes out of nowhere and Caleb doesn't typically express his feelings. It's possible that over the course of their rather peculiar friendship/working relationship on the morning news, Caleb has developed romantic feelings for Matthew, but is unable to express them due to his limited social skills. Seeing Aiden with Matthew makes Caleb jealous of the former, inspiring a feeling of loathing. It is also worth noting that the costume Caleb draws for Matthew's superhero persona, "The Harmonizer", is a skintight unitard that features a nipple-baring tanktop. In "Supermouth", he claims to be recording the sizes of every penis he's seen, which may indicate an undeclared homosexuality on his part.

Aiden will break Matthew's heart
Their relationship just seems too good to be true, and won't last. Not to mention Caleb dislikes Aiden for reasons that are currently unknown, and Caleb is shown to be pretty perceptive, so maybe he sees something the others don't.

Jessie's parents' relationship is going to get worse and make her life even more of a living hell
In season 3, Greg is clearly shown to be taking much greater responsibility with his life after he and Sharron divorce while, inversely, Sharron is becoming less and less emotionally stable due to her confused feelings about both her sexuality and Greg. Most would agree Jessie would be better living with Greg, but it's obvious Sharron hates him too much to even consider it and the thought of him taking Jessie away from her would push her over the edge. The result will be an absolutely horrific Kramer vs. Kramer-style custody battle where Greg is clearly the better-suited guardian but has to fight the Double Standard of single fathers, while Sharron, knowingly or not, is using Jessie as leverage against him. Once again, their efforts to do what's best for Jessie end up making everything worse for her, and Jessie will be so traumatized by the whole thing that Depression Kitty will resume control over her life stronger than ever, to the point that Jessie may actually come close to becoming a statistic due to her distrust of every single adult who'd try to talk her out of it by that point (it could even lead to a darkly funny Shout-Out to another Netflix show when someone tries to talk Jessie out of suicide: "Give me one- No, give me thirteen good reasons why I shouldn't!" And Jessie would eventually be talked out of it, as this isn't the kind of show that's willing to get that bleak).
  • Shannon and Greg's relationship doesn't appear to get much better or worse in Season 4, as they're able to cooperate to help Jessi after learning how depressed she is. It is true that Jessi's mental health worsens during Season 4 as the Depression Kitty returns and the Anxiety Mosquito debuts, but she never gets to the point of contemplating suicide. It's also shown in Season 4 that her dad's place isn't perfect for her either, even if it's better for her than New York City.
  • It could however, be like Kramer vs. Kramer in season 5, but given the current scenario in season 4, suicide is a tad unlikely unless depression kitty gets back into the mix.

Season 4 will be an Art-Shifted Sequel
Early in season one, when they bothered to depict the 8th graders in the school, the older kids were noticeably taller and further along in puberty. It seems likely that they will need to redesign the characters to reflect the physical changes of puberty since, unlike many TV shows set in schools, the characters' ages are explicit, as is what grade they are in, and older kids are not depicted as being of a common ambiguous age with the main characters as happens a lot (e.g. Dawson Casting).
  • Jossed. The only character to get a redesign is Missy, which is less because of her age and more a reflection of her independence and emotional maturity.

Nick will go through a growth spurt
It could possibly happen in Season 4, when the kids come back to school for 8th grade, Nick will have become noticably taller, or it could even be a gradual change throughout the season that becomes noticable at the end of the season.

The Depression Kitty might affect all the characters eventually
The Kitty will come for all the students like the Shame Wizard did. The difference is, rather than attacking everyone at one like Shame Wizard did, the kitty will show up at least once during someone's life, some will be hit harder than others. Going with an earlier theory, Andrew could be the Kitty's next victim, but Nick, Missy, or Jay could be affected in some way as well. The Kitty could be visible to some adults as well, especially those who have chronic depression.

Various Hormone Monster Theories
  • It's implied that Hormone Monsters usually leave after their human loses their virginity. However, if their person has sex before they're 18, they may stick around until they turn 18. Basically, the monster has to leave which ever comes last, their person losing their virginity, or turning 18. But it also depends on the
person as well.
  • Humans, more often than not, don't remember having their monster when they leave, or if they do, they would remember them as like a weird imaginary friend, or a character they made up.
  • Rick became damaged because he and a young Coach Steve were severely traumatized by Steve’s mother. Having witnessed his mother having sex with Gary and later seeing her suicide caused him to regress in order to protect himself. As the monsters seem to be in a symbiotic relationship with their humans, whatever trauma that was inflicted on Steve harmed Rick as well.

The series will end with the main characters losing their virginities.
  • Nick and Jessi may seal the deal, as will Andrew and Missy, plus Matthew and Aiden, which leads to the biggest tearjerking moment in the series where Maury and Connie will no longer be able to communicate with them since their work is done (Rick stopped being Steve's Hormone Monster after he slept with Jay's mom), but somewhere down the line, they may communicate with them as ghosts the way Maury can still talk to Duke.
    • This seems unlikely, as we’ve seen hormone monsters helping kids get laid. Example: Gavin yelling “I just got two 13-year-olds laid, on a school night no less!”

Rick is a sign of a male with a Hormone imbalance.
  • Both of the major characters, Nick and Couch Steve, we have seen with Rick as their Hormone Monster has had something wrong. Coach Steve seems to have a number of issues including a birth defect of his sexual organ which, while treated at 4, likely had long-lasting reproductions. Nick likewise seems also to possibly have issues. He is very short of his age and it's implied that his reproductive organs are taking a long time to mature. It's possible that Nick has a Testosterone Deficiency.

After getting divorced by Devon, Devin will go through a Heel-Face Turn in season 5.

Cheryl's mom died, and this is the reason for her deviant behavior.

It makes sense. We know Skip is her dad, but we have never seen her mom, nor has she been mentioned. So, perhaps her mother died, and that is what set Cheryl on her path of bad behavior: vaping, hanging out with Vicky and her trashy friends, and even hitting on her cousin Andrew. Like, maybe her father neglects her since her mother died, she what Cheryl REALLY wants is somebody to pay attention to her, somebody REAL, not Vicky or her school friends, but somebody who actually LOVES her. She believes Andrew could be that person, seeing as he's family, and they used to hang out as kids, playing games and taking baths together, but in her grief and confusion she confuses these desires with SEXUAL feelings. I mean, Skip CERTAINLY doesn't seem like the ideal dad: I mean, look what he did with his own FATHER'S body. I certainly wouldn't count on him to care much about his daughter if he couldn't be bothered to properly get his father safely to his funeral. Plus in Florida he hit on his own brother's wife, while belittling Marty. So, in other words, her mom's death, as well as being neglected by her own horrible dad, is what set Cheryl off on this path.

Devon and Missy will be a thing

It only makes sense in the context of the show. We've seen some chemistry in the 9/11 episode and Devon broke up with Devin (Which may or may not result in a Heel–Face Turn, as an above theory has stated).

Gavin or Mona will be Lola's Hormone Monster

Both are because of their brash personality traits, which Lola has herself.

Connie is an Onoskelis.
In the Testament of Solomon, an Onoskelis is a devious, satyr-like female demon with cloven hooves and honey-colored skin. Sound familiar?

There will be a Christmas/Hanukah special
They've covered all of the other major holidays. Expect a perverted parody of "Twas The Night Before Christmas" and someone getting a gambling addiction over a dreidel. Someone might have to deal with a family member who doesn't get that they're not little kids anymore. Jay might have a fling with a Christmas themed pillow. Bonus points if it has jingle bells on it. Duke will try to sing a carol and mangle it somehow. For a touch of heartwarming, Matthew reconciles with his mother in this special.
  • At least partially confirmed. There will be a Christmas special. For a little something different, puppetry will be involved. Looks like a spoof of the Rankin-Bass stop motion specials.

Ali and Samira will break up
Some leaks of Season 5 has stated that Jessi might develop some feelings for Ali. However, as of this WMG, Ali is still dating Samira, and the only way for this to happen would be for Ali breaking up with Samira (Which only makes sense given the show's nature).
  • Confirmed. Mostly due to Jessi.

Or...

Season 5 will have a love triangle
As said beforehand, Jessi will develop some feelings for Ali. Another alternative (Besides a breakup with Samira) is a love triangle. Yes, it causes drama, but it makes sense in the show's context.

Maurice's father is Oderus Urungus.
They've both been alive for millions (if not billions) of years, they have indiscriminate sexual tastes, they both have horns, a deep and gravelly voice, and zero tact.

Rodney is Lola's dad.
They look alike, both enjoy a really weird meal. Either he has no idea, or isn't saying anything because the resulting fallout (him fired, mom transfered to a less relaxed PO that wouldn't be as relaxed on rules, and Lola sent to a foster home or something) would be really bad.

Kaitlyn and Greg's baby will be named Brie
In the Christmas special, it was revealed Jessi's half sister will be a girl, and Brie is both a girl's name, as well as the name of a cheese, so it fits.
  • Jossed: They name her Delilah.

Jenna Bilzerian is pregnant with Coach Steve's daughter
She had an affair with Coach Steve in season 2, at the beginning of season 3, she mentions having "a secret daughter" and she seems to be trying hard to stop drinking. She hasn´t been seen in the series since then.
  • Jay's car has a "baby on Board" sticker. Possibly the car belonged to his mother and his father forced her to give it to Jay so that no one would suspect her pregnancy due to the sticker.

Leah will break up with Val
Possibly his brother Kurt or his father will have something to do with it. Although Val has tried hard to be a good boyfriend, the influence of his father and/or brother could make him make a serious mistake.
  • Leah mentioned that her parents aren´t going to let Val to sleep in her room, so it is possible that she visits the Bilzerian home, seeking some privacy with her boyfriend. And it would be the moment when she would see the worst of the Bilzerian family, including Val.

Jessi will rethink her concept of feminism

Although in season 2 Jessi has had to face that she has been a hypocrite, she doesn't have changed much about her idea of what feminism is about. In season 6, Jessi will meet a feminist girl (or group of feminists) who will turn out to be an even worse Straw Feminist than her.

  • Jessi will have a different point of view about something and her feminist friend will attack her for it.
  • Jessi's new feminist friend will be a jerk to Kaitlyn and Jessi's baby sister... because according to her "a feminist is against motherhood and babies".

Season 6 will focus on fatherhood, babies and older siblings
  • Jay's mother will give birth to her daughter and her husband will kick her out of the house. So the Birch will let her stay at their house, time during which Diane will teach her how to be a better mother.
  • Jessi will seek advice on how to be a good older sister, and Nick will provide his perspective as a younger brother.
  • At school, the protagonists will have the classic task in which they must take care of an egg as if it were a baby, or a doll, to learn about parental responsibility.
  • Maury and Connie's relationship will continue to be strained due to their baby.
    • Confirmed: the theme for season 6 is family.

Jay's secret sibling
When reading the word "sibling" Jay will assume that it is a lost older half-brother who has been in prison all this time. But in reality, he will discover that he has a baby half-sister, the result of his mother's infidelity in season 2.

Leah will have a Pregnancy Scare
This will cause drama in their relationship.
  • Leah will take advantage of the occasion to put Val to the test, and find out if he would support her or not.
  • Val will accuse Leah of cheating on him out of fear of fatherhood or because of his father's influence.

Jessi will have a Green-Eyed Monster moment when she meets Judd's girlfriend

Sonya's firing will cause Jessi to have trouble loving her new little sister

Missy will help Rochelle
Missy will know what happened between Rochelle, Dante and Emmy, and will help her realize that she doesn't really love Dante, she just didn't want to admit her mistake and tried to convince herself that she wasn't doing anything wrong, since "it was love."
  • Missy will helps Rochelle realize that Pete might be a better boyfriend. So Rochelle will consider giving the Logic Rock a chance in season 2 of Human Resources.

Samira will seek revenge on Jessi
Samira will spread a rumor at school that Jessi had a secret pregnancy and she stole her girlfriend Ali to raise the baby together. Since Jessi didn't tell anyone but Ali about her baby half-sister, her friends will believe the rumor to be true upon seeing the baby.

Matthew will advise Jessi and Jay on being older siblings

The final season will have the Self Harm Walrus
A topic as serious as self harm only makes sense to use for the finale. Plus, he has a status as The Dreaded.

Devin has an eating disorder
In "Smooch or Share" after the kids get rid of the Shame Wizard and start giving in to their urges with no shame, Devin starts gorging on sweets she was keeping in her bag. She may be bulimic, as she has shown no problems eating in general, even accepting a whole egg and mayo sandwich from Lola.

There are eating disorder monsters
Ana and Mia, the anthropomorphic personifications of anorexia and bulimia, exist as physical beings in-universe.
  • Alternatively they appear to exist at first, but then they turn out to be imaginary, unlike all the other creatures.
    • This sounds like something that might fall under the jurisdiction of either Addiction Angel or Self Harm Walrus.

Jay's family will eventually get comeuppance for how they have treated him
Possibly ending in the reveal that Jay cut them out of his life in the far off future.

Jessi's vagina is named Delores.
When Jessi's vagina is in pain its name is Beatrice, a name that means "brings happiness". An ironic name if there ever was. When Jessi's vagina is in a good mood, her name is Delores because it means "sorrow". The name is as ironic for her as her evil twin's. However, it does rhyme with clitoris. (sort of.)
