Doom Patrol viewers are waiting for the release of the series’ final episodes, and some have become worried that the remaining episodes of the DC superhero series will not be released at all. The series was cancelled earlier this year, and Warner Bros. Discovery has pulled several series from the Max series in recent months.  James Gunn, co-chairman of and co-CEO of DC Studios, says that the episodes are still coming.

Starring Diane Guerrero, April Bowlby, Brendan Fraser, Matt Bomer, Joivan Wade, Skye Roberts, and Michelle Gomez, the Doom Patrol series follows a group of misfit superheroes. The fourth season finds the group traveling to the future where they must decide if their own happiness is more important than the fate of the world.

When asked about the future of Doom Patrol by a fan on social media, Gunn said, “I can’t imagine a world where completed episodes are not going to be released.”

He later returned to confirm his early comment in another tweet. Per Deadline, he said, “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.”

Wade, the actor behind Cyborg, said the following about the remaining episodes:

“I would like to say it’s a great finish. 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.”

Season four of the Max series will resume at some point in the future.

What do you think? Are you a fan of this DC universe series? Will you be sad to see Doom Patrol end?
