[General Maximus]

cool, haven't seen it yet. Just finishing ploughing through SG1 and then I'll be back with current series.

The Outpost filming another 13 episodes soon but creator Dean Devlin will not as yet say if it is for a forth season or an extended third. I suspect it's a forth myself.

Well season 3 shutdown due to COVID so it won't be a fourth yet.

It would have to be a 4th Season, that said, they may need the episodes to extend Season 3.
I guess it depends on what else they are able to film in 2020, they dont have much ready to air atm.

They had already filmed half of Season 3, and it resumed filming back in June.

Season 3 starts airing on Oct 8th (i.e. in about 3 weeks time).

[ Edit: Found the tweet, the replies to it definitely imply its a 4th Season ].

Harley Quinn has been renewed for a 3rd Season, on HBO Max.

(HBO Max is basically taking on all the old DCU shows, as DCU is being replaced by a comic book streaming service)

The Dark Crystal Age of Resistance not really unexpected but now confirmed, no second season.

arse, I was really hoping they would come up with something to justify a second season or continuation of events after the movie. I would have been happy with anything, I thought it was amazing.

It may be continuing in comic book form. A twelve-issue prequel comic book was put out by Boom! Studio shortly after the series premiered and that may be the medium pursued to continue the story.

From Lisa Henderson:-

We can confirm that there will not be an additional season of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. We know fans are eager to learn how this chapter of The Dark Crystal saga concludes and we’ll look for ways to tell that story in the future. Our company has a legacy of creating rich and complex worlds that require technical innovation, artistic excellence, and masterful storytelling. Our history also includes productions that are enduring, often finding and growing their audience over time and proving again and again that fantasy and science fiction genres reflect eternal messages and truths that are always relevant. We are so grateful to Netflix for trusting us to realize this ambitious series; we are deeply proud of our work on Age of Resistance, and the acclaim it has received from fans, critics and our peers, most recently receiving an Emmy for Outstanding Children’s Program.

At least they get to wrap everything up.

So just to clarify for people who dont want to follow links ;

Supergirl has been cancelled, Season 6 to be its last.


I cant actually say I'll miss it too much.
It was turning into another PC soapbox, SG even lost her trademark skirt.

Hopefully Batcrap will get canned this year as well, it was another soapbox, and not even that entertaining, and now it wont even be about the titular character anymore. WTF.

The Flash is becoming tiresome as well, dragging out storylines.
I do like Black Lightning, but I think Legends of Tomorrow is my favourite now.
Unlike the others it actually entertains each week, and doesnt take itself too seriously.

exactly, the article refers to a decline in ratings as a reason for it but they are all so stupid that they haven't asked themselves what caused the decline in ratings. The whole point of series like this is that they are supposed to be fanstasiful (probably not a real word ) and escapism they moved away from a proper superhero series to pursuing liberal messages and wrapping it up in a cape. I can see Discovery following the same path.

Billions has been renewed for a 6th season and Raised by Wolves for a second season

Teenage Bounty Hunters has been cancelled, a shame as I rather enjoyed it.

The CW is not calling it a fourth season but rather an additional 13 episodes of season three.

Interesting, a 26 episode Season 3.

Season 3 actually launches tomorrow, and given the usual breaks, its 13 current episodes would end around mid February.

Will they have the additional episodes follow straight on I wonder.
They cant have known they would get more, so must have wrapped up the initial season 3 storyline in the first 13.

All a bit odd and confusing, it would seem easier to just call it season 4.
There are probably some legal/contract reasons why they have to keep it as season 3.
