We can finally stop worrying over whether Doom Patrol will return or now. Through a Threads post, James Gunn, co-CEO of DC Studios, admitted that he was currently busy with the first two installments in his rebooted DC Universe: Creature Commandos and Superman: Legacy.
However, regardless of that, he was able to inform fans about the fate of the famous Doom Patrol series. In his post, Gunn wrote, "I now have confirmation: As I surmised, no, Doom Patrol episodes are absolutely NOT being shelved, even though the premiere date for the next shows hasn't been announced to the public."
Doom Patrol Season 4’s first part, also serving as the last chapter of the show, was released on December 8, 2022, and ran its course till January 5, 2023. Despite much waiting, Warner Bros. Discovery has not confirmed or denied anything regarding its second volume.
This is why many fans believe the show might have been shelved or scrapped in line with other projects like the Batgirl movie. However, James Gunn finally broke the silence recently over this matter and confirmed to the fans that there will be a Volume 2 of Doom Patrol Season 4.
Doom Patrol’s Ending
With Doom Patrol Vol. 1 ending on a cliffhanger, speculations have been running wild regarding what fans might expect from the next series of episodes. Speaking of what to expect from the last few episodes, Jovian Wade, the actor who plays Cyborg in the series, says that the show will provide a satisfying ending to the story of Doom Patrol.
Wade said, "I would like to say it's a great finish. It upsets me when shows don't get the opportunity to close the chapter, to allow the fans to feel whole and healed and like they've actually been a part of something that they come full circle with. I feel [like] we really got the opportunity to do that with Doom this season and give the fans what they have wanted and the payoff of everything that we have built over the last four years."
Similarly, another one of Doom Patrol’s actors promised the fans that Season 4 will not leave them unsatisfied. They also stated that the writers and showrunners designed the next chapter actually to serve as the last installment.
Sheppard stated, "Genuinely, I do know that Jeremy [Carver, showrunner] was prepared for this. So the end of Doom Patrol, season 4B, is really good. It's really good as an ending."
For fans who want to catch up on Doom Patrol, they can stream it on Max. However, Season 4 Volume 2 does not yet have a release date, so we are just going to have to wait a little longer!
