At the moment, it's unclear what Solar Opposites season 6 could be about. As the series is based on episodic storylines, the broad theme of aliens adjusting to planet Earth will likely continue in the next season as well.

The upcoming Halloween special of the series might contain more hints about the story's future. In an interview for ScreenRant, showrunner Josh Bycel mentioned that there's much to explore in the genre and the story, which might influence the development of Solar Opposites season 6. Talking of expanding the story's universe into a feature, he said:

Well, listen, we would love to do [a feature]. It would be amazing. Right now, we're focused on getting to season 6 and moving forward, but sure, we would do it in a heartbeat. Absolutely.
