It’s hard to say goodbye sometimes, and today we have to bid farewell to two popular superhero shows to usher in a brand new era of DC content.
HBO Max has officially announced that Titans and Doom Patrol will both be ending after their fourth seasons later this year. The two programs have recently wrapped up their six-episode Season 4A runs on HBO Max, and will both drop their second and final halves very soon. Fortunately, it sounds like Titans and Doom Patrol will both have the chance to give their fans proper closure as each respective writing team has plotted their current seasons to have full circle endings, so we aren’t left on any cliffhangers.
A spokesperson for HBO Max has stated:
While these will be the final seasons of Titans and Doom Patrol, we are very proud of these series and excited for fans to see their climatic endings. We are grateful to Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television for making such thrilling, action-packed, heartfelt series. We thank Titans showrunner Greg Walker, executive producers Greg Berlanti, Akiva Goldsman, Sarah Schechter, Geoff Johns, Richard Hatem, and the team at Weed Road Pictures. For Doom Patrol, we celebrate showrunner Jeremy Carver and executive producers Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Geoff Johns, Chris Dingess and Tamara Becher-Wilkinson. For four seasons, fans have fallen in love with the Titans and Doom Patrol, investing in their trials and tribulations, and in their legendary battles saving the world time and time again.
The showrunner of Titans, Greg Walker, has also released a statement stating:
I’m immensely proud of our gifted cast, crew and writing staff and their efforts in bringing to life all 49 episodes over the last five-plus years, I couldn’t have asked for better partners in Berlanti Productions, Warner Bros. Television, and HBO Max, and from the beginning, Geoff Johns and Akiva Goldsman. I’m incredibly grateful for their unyielding trust throughout this process. Lastly, I have to thank our incredible fans for their continued support, engagement, and the passionate community they’ve built around our show. We have six episodes left to unleash upon the world that we hope will give our beloved characters the creative closure we all know they deserve.
Doom Patrol executive producer, Jeremy Carver, discussed the series’ cancellation in this bulletin:
To our wonderfully supportive partners at HBO Max, Warner Bros. Television, Berlanti Productions, and DC Studios, thank you for indulging us these past four seasons. Also, what were you smoking? To our brilliant cast, indomitable crew, fearless writing staff and, most of all, to our beautiful fans: thank you all the more. You made this a once-in-a-lifetime ride.
DC fans have yet to worry about the future of DC television as James Gunn and Peter Safran, the new co-CEOs of DC Studios, will be taking over all future projects set within the DC multiverse ranging from films, television, animation and video games.
