Rumors of the second half of Doom Patrol’s final fourth season being shelved have swirled ever since fans realized that only the first part had aired. According to Deadline, James Gunn (The Suicide Squad, Guardians Of The Galaxy), co-head of DC, made a post clarifying the future of the show on Threads.
Gunn said that he was “neck deep in Superman & Creature Commandos” and wasn’t “focused on day-to-day TV scheduling,” when a user asked about the missing half of the final season. He said that he “can’t imagine a world where completed episodes are not going to be released.”
Several hours later, Gunn said, “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 yet been announced to the public.”
Jovian Wade (The First Purge, Youngers), the actor who plays Cyborg in Doom Patrol, teased the ending of the show. “I would like to say it’s a great finish,” he said. “It’s satisfactory for the fans, which I felt was most important. 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. It’s something everyone is going to love. The rest of the season is some of our best work. I can’t wait for everyone to see that. I will save all the other juice when we talk again.”
The second half of the final season of Doom Patrol has no release date on Max as of yet.
