Greg Weisman Teases Hope for Young Justice Season 3
 

Has anyone heard about this?

Greg Weisman thinks there could still be a future for Young Justice. While announcing that the critically acclaimed cartoon’s second season was available on Netflix Instant Streaming, Young Justice’s executive producer hinted that the show could see new life if there were enough interest.

Weisman clarified in subsequent tweets that while Warner Bros (or Netflix) hadn’t expressed interest in a third season, a strong showing on Netflix could motivate WB into action on a potential third season.

That doesn't mean anything, Weisman always hopes to continue all his canceled shows.

Nobody is going to foot the bill to pay for a new season of Young Justice, especially since its been canceled a few years now. Also given this is a DC property they would still have to get DC to agree to continue the series, they may not even care.

I don't know that much about Weisman, so I'm completely oblivious to whether or not he tried promoting something like this before.

However, it's an interesting read.

Weisman still thinks he can make 6 Gargoyle series spinoffs...for a show that got canceled back in 1996.

He's currently writing for Star Wars Rebels so I don't think he will get to make Young Justice. He also said he doesn't work for DC anymore.

He left Rebels after Season 1.

I would like a season 3, but in the meantime I'm going to rewatch seasons 1 and 2, because...damn those were good.

I really miss the DC Nation block of cartoons. It was great that for a little while there was some really awesome 'toons still on Saturday Morning. Alas, no longer.

I'd find it hilarious if WB greenlits a Young Justice Season 3 but then doesn't hire Greg Weisman back to write it.

I don't know why the guy thinks he can do whatever he wants. He always gets fired or his series always gets canceled no matter what he does.

This is hardly the only series I would like to see get continued, though it would be nice to see a series I actually want to get new life.

Frankly, I pretend YJ season two did'nt happen. First series ended on such a happy and optimistic note and the second series was far too mean-spirited. It was'nt bad, but the tone shift was just not what I personally liked.

Wiesman's an eternal optimist though, gotta hand it to him.

Netflix is reportedly reviewing YJ stats and its said that if they like what they see it could lead to a third season: http://geektyrant.com/news/netflix-c...ntial-season-3

Its never going to happen. DC has to agree to it, they won't do it. Its a pipedream.

I don't blame you. I still liked season 2 somewhat, but it felt like there was way too much going on compared to the first season.

They added way too many new characters and had no time to develop them all. Wonder Girl never even got a spotlight episode or a backstory. She was just there.

If UJ gets other season after what 2 years? Perhaps theres hope for Thunder Cats? I can dream can I? The reboot never had a finish story.

If it does get a third season, watch Greg Weisman end it on ANOTHER cliffhanger on purpose just so he can try to get it continued again for a fourth season or beyond.

He's known for being spiteful and purposely ending things on cliffhangers in hope he can return to it someday.

The show wasn't about her. The main focus has always been the main six, and there were the most focused ones on both seasons, with Blue Beetle and Impulse focused on for plot reasons.

Ehm, no. He's very diplomatic about the companies he works on and that's why he still works in the industry even today. He doesn't end things on cliffhangers, but he does leave loose ends because it's more realistic to him that way. Life doesn't just suddenly conclude. There's always more battles to be fought another day.

But I won't get in your way of your fanfiction about real people, bro. :oops:

Oh man, more Thundercats would be amazing, so frustrating how that was left.

A season 3 YJL would be so awesome, as long as the quality was maintained,and they got the voice cast. I would be all in.

Who knows maybe they could bring more shows back, I would love to see another season Futurama or at least a movie.

Futurama was already revived like 3 times, let it rest.

We had four Futurama movies, and I think only one of them was any good and relevant to the overall saga ("Bender's Big Score"). The revival seasons were strong, but I think they've told all they can with it now.

Are you kidding? They could do so much more with Futurama, and that comes from David x Cohen himself!

You want to see Futurama become stale and awful like Simpsons? The show already got a 52 episode and 4 movie revival, isn't that enough?

The new seasons also had a number of lackluster episodes, so I'd rather the series end on a high note than become the next Simpsons.

Family Guy was cancelled but after very good DVD sales, they brought it back.

And it's sucked ever since

Futurama is very different from Simpsons, there is so much more you can do with it. You can be outrageous and get away with it, Simpsons is about a family of 5 and is grounded in generally reality.

Futurama by it's nature is set in a world with more open ended possibilities, and so can have so many more stories that fit the shows criteria., without going down the same path the Simpsons has.

I wouldn't want to see a whole lot more, but just a little more. The shows creators, writers and cast want it, and so do I.

At the end of the day, if they bring it back, you don't have to watch it, let those that enjoy it, do so in peace.

It got 4 movies. And 52 more new episodes. That's like...enough.

He's explained many times that he NEVER intends for series like Young Justice or Spec. Spider-Man to end on cliff-hangers. They're more like "Never the End" type things.

Agreed, but in all fairness I bet Weisman never imagined he'd get an oddball number of episodes for season 2 like 20; he was probably imagining a second season of 26 episodes when he and Vietti were mapping the storylines out. Those 6 episodes would have been used for Wonder Girl, Batgirl, Lagoon Boy and other characters who had little screen time.

Batgirl and Tim Drake got no characterisation or moments really, we were just expected to know them since they're Batman characters.

Wondergirl got no focus or spotlight, no backstory. Just that she messes up a bit.

Lagoonboy was literally just there for shipping wars.

Beastboy was alright, but he was forgotten about in the second half of the season.

Static Shock and the Superfriends just ate up screentime.


Literally the whole season was just about Blue Beetle and Impulse, yet they added a whole bunch of other new characters on top of them.

Yeah. Had there been an extra six episodes to develop those characters better, the second season might have been able to further cement Young Justice's place as one of the greatest super-hero cartoons.

God damn I hope this third season idea works out.

This is a rumor, its not even confirmed. Netflix has never stated they're looking into funding another season, plus as I said, you have to get DC to agree to do this too. Its not like Netflix can say, "OK, we're making a third season!" without DC and their production company all agreeing to do it.

So take this with a grain of salt bc I do not know how reputable the source is but this might be the best chance yet for a season 3

If you read the comments you'll see its still a rumor, nothing is confirmed.

Actually, I read that Weisman isn't currently involved in Rebels's second season. - http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/10/...ar-wars-rebels

While I wasn't the biggest fan of the Thundercats reboot, I would much rather see a second second season of that show than a third season of YJ.

I enjoyed the first few seasons or so of Family Guy's revival. It wasn't until the around the turn of the decade that I stopped enjoying the new FG episodes.

LOL @ reddit, twitter, tumblr, etc. all throwing parties over the idea of Young Justice getting a Season 3, acting like its "confirmed."

Boy, these people sure are setting themselves up for an amazing fall.

I'd love to know what show you're watching. Simpsons hasn't been grounded in reality for years. As evident by their Futurama crossover and the fact they've met Kang and Kodus outside of the Treehouse of Horror shorts.

I think he means the Simpsons still live in a somewhat, though overly cartoony version, of the real world... while Futurama has the characters go to different planets and face all sorts of weird monsters and aliens every other day. There are always new planets and new creatures to explore.

As for Young Justice, I'm all for it. DC, like any company, is all about the money anyway. If Netflix is willing to fund it and they can convince DC that a season 3 will make money, then they might say yes.

Thundercats..... I love the show concept and the characters back in the 80's.... but the new one was boring as hell. I caught a few episodes here and there, but it seemed to focus more on slice of life or world building than you know..... action. I know a show can't be all action and no plot either.... but you also can't have all these fighters with weapons and stuff... just doing nothing but give exposition.

The only eps that caught my eye were the one with Panthro giving the flashback with his best friend now turned enemy, and Pumyra hating Lion-O and wanting to kill him and so forth. I don't know. If they make another season, I hope they remember the original show they based it on had some action in it too. I guess with the incredible animation style and quality I was expecting some really sweet fights and was disappointed... or maybe I missed those episodes and only tuned into the boring ones? I don't know.

If by some stroke of luck Netflix does pick up the show, I hope that the animation isn't as wretched as it previously was. As much as I love the show, the animation was really not pretty.

Not the character designs, I mean. Those were fine. Just the actual animation and movement.

Especially season 2. If you watch the show in HD the amount of jaggies and poorly placed eyes and mouth become very apparent.

The next few days are crucial if season three stands a chance of being picked up

If it happens I'll be shocked.

So will I, but in a good way.

A canceled DC cartoon coming back with Weisman as the writer/director? I reeeaaaally don't see this happening.

This sounds like a pipedream for the people who want all their canceled shows back. Next you'll see people think Legend of Korra or Avatar can be revived, or the DCAU with Bruce Timm, or Spectacular Spiderman, and so on and so forth.

Remember the days when canceled cartoons stayed dead?
