I actually meant to say "next year", but they actually have finished most of the writing for season 6 and have it all planned. It wouldn't even surprise me if they had finished storyboarding half the season anyway. Besides, there was a hiatus last year that stood for months. I doubt this year will be much different. They'll probably finish this season by summer.
