Despite the excitement surrounding the confirmation of a renewal, fans would develop mixed feelings when it was announced thatDoom Patrolwould end with season 4alongside the cancelation of fellow DC live-action showTitans. Now, the release window forDoom Patrol’s final episodes has been announced, with the show slated to return in October 2023. The series will pick up where it left off after its mid-season finale episode in January, according to show director Bosede Williams when he spoke toEntertainment Weeklyabout the final run.
“The show creator [Jeremy Carver] really wanted to present Orqwith to the fans, because they’ve been talking about it since Season 1,” Williams explained. “We knew that it should be dark and completely disorienting because the characters have never seen anything like it. It should be gloomy, just to really take them out of their elements.” With the team being confronted with their mortality, the stakes are raised, which is a good retention of quality, as many fans believe thatDoom Patrolis DC’s best TV project. Nailing the show’s final season will go a long way to cement that legacy in the eyes of fans and critics.
It is worth noting that DC Studios bossJames Gunn denies pulling the plug onDoom Patrol, leading some to hope that the new DCU will consider bringing the show and its stars into the fold. However, with creature commandos added to the slate as a prominent first DCU project, the niche filled by the cast ofDoom Patrolmight be spoken for.
Doom Patrolis available for streaming on Max, with the second half of season four set to debut in October 2023.
