After the stunning fourth season, fans can’t wait to see more of their favorite characters in Young Justice Season 5. The finale left fans wondering how the characters will deal with their opponents. It was a tough fight, and everyone faced their weakness, creating more problems for them. But how they will work on their weakness and come back stronger remains unclear. Since the fourth season ended, fans have been curious to know the future of the show. So, when will Young Justice Season 5 release? Keep reading to know more.
Developed by Greg Weisman and Brandon Vietti, Young Justice isn’t a direct adaptation of the DC comic, but rather it is an original story set in the DC Universe. The show focuses on young adults and teenagers who possess superpowers and are determined to save the world. It follows the lives of sidekicks and superheroes, the covert operation group members. They form a team to help civilians when the supervillains started working in tandem and set a grand conspiracy thanks to the Light.
Young Justice Season 5: Renewal Status!
Fans are hoping to see another season of Young Justice after its June broadcast. But sadly, their wish won’t be answered. This is because of Warner Bros. Discovery’s restricting DC properties. That reportedly led to the cancellation of Young Justice Season 5. The animated series was expected to return for only a single season of Young Justice: Phantoms. But the plans hadn’t changed after June’s finale. Well, it wasn’t the first time when the series got canceled.
After two successful seasons starring several characters and a complex storyline, it led to the unfortunate cancelation in 2013. However, fans soon signed a campaign, and Young Justice then returned for the third season. The hype let the show move on to HBO Max, which concluded in June 2022. The situation is again the same as the network canceled the series, but fans are praying for another season. Will it return? Keep reading.
A Campaign Signed To Change Young Justice Future
Soon after the network canceled the show, fans took to Change.org to revive their favorite show. An avid fan signed a petition to restore Young Justice for the fifth season. The person stated, “Young Justice has given us fantastic stroylines as well as superb characters that we’ve grown to love.” But they can’t believe their favorite show will end like this. So they signed a petition for HBO to renew the show for the fifth season and beyond. Soon 3,630 signed the signature, and there’s still more space for the fans to join the campaign. However, HBO remained mum and hasn’t changed its decision yet.
Creator Wants To Return
In the middle of the fourth season, a fan asked about the show’s renewal. However, the series creator Greg Weisman soon reverted. He stated that he thinks the question should be if the show will return. They already knew about HBO’s decision and wanted to change it. But despite their best efforts, the network remained firm on its decision. However, there’s a possibility that HBO might renew Young Justice Season 5 since it did it before, too.
Young Justice Season 5: Production Details
In August 2022, HBO Max ordered another season of Young Justice. But Warner Brothers Discovery had no plans for the show, leading to the series’ cancelation. If the media partner decides to return, the chances are high that the show could return for the fifth season. Thus deeming this possibility, we expect it will undergo animation as soon the media partner greenlit it. The animation typically takes 12 months to wrap up production. Further, post-production work also takes a few more months to finish everything.
Young Justice Season 5: Release Date
As mentioned, the show’s fate is currently in limbo. But if Warner Brothers Discovery returns with another season, then there are chances that the show will return with Young Justice Season 5. Further, as suggested above, the production takes a year and more to finish designing. So deeming the amount it takes in production, we can expect that Young Justice Season 5 will air late in 2024. Stay tuned. TechRadar247 will keep you updated.
