Greg Weisman Teases Hope for Young Justice Season 3 - Page 4

*NinjaPug* · 03-15-2016, 02:09 PM

Do you have a link to where Netflix reps confirmed they were looking into a 3rd season? I never assumed a 3rd season was just wishful thinking on the part of GW and the voice actors but it is nice to get some sort of confirmation from Netflix. Hope it all works out.

People have been posting screenshots from customer service chats.

Of course, their job is to make the customer happy, and could be talking out of their asses, but I'd like to think that the response from fans is overwhelming enough that Netflix seriously is looking at acquiring the rights for a third season.

Spoiler:

There are a dozen others like this; interestingly, whereas in earlier screenshots of chats the customer service people are more tentative in talking about a series revival; in more recent ones they are more firm in confirming that things are definitely in the works. So that's a good sign.

I severely doubt this show is getting a new season. Why would Netflix pay out of their own money to fund this? Why would DC agree to it?

Netflix paid money to make a Richie Rich TV show. I think they're willing to take risks if they think it can mean a solid payoff.

Daredevil and Jessica Jones did extraordinarily well, and not many people knew who they even were. I imagine a third season of a well-liked superohero cartoon is less of a risk than those two shows were.

Why wouldn't DC agree to it? They'd probably get a healthy share of the profit. The only reason Young Justice was cancelled was because no one bought the crappy toys, and apparently "too many girls were watching".

DC already gives Netflix the rights for Justice League, The Batman, and a good bit of their direct-to-DVD movies, so DC has a good relationship with their streaming service. I imagine the shows do fairly well.

Thanks to social media, Young Justice has been constantly "trending" on Netflix for the past couple of weeks, so the audience is clearly there.

Plus it makes Netflix look good in the eyes of the media-loving consumer even more. In terms of original content they have great Marvel shows, House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, etc.; people like good television, but I think people might love comebacks of old shows even more: the new Pee-wee movie, Fuller House, Clone Wars season 6, Arrested Development season 4, etc. So picking up a third season of arguably one of the best modern superhero cartoons outside the DCAU adds to that image they've built for themselves.

There is every reason to think that Netflix can and will pick the show up for a season 3. I have never seen a thoroughly negative review of Young Justice; everyone has a reason to watch it. It's clearly got a dedicated and wide fanbase; the creators are all on board for a return, and in fact are the ones pushing for it. Greg Weisman has neglected to push for the return of his shows in the past for fear of seeming like a lunatic to potential employers, and the fact that he's now doing it for Young Justice says to me that the show has a very strong chance of returning.

If the show does come back, the Dynamic Music Partners had better come back with it!

I just don't trust this new age social media stuff. Its is beyond my comprehension. I've never watched a show greenlit by netflix or hulu.

I just don't like it that any cartoon can come back from the dead years after cancellation. It just shouldn't be done. Its like people clinging to the past.

*TheSkeletonMan939* · 03-15-2016, 05:56 PM

It's not like Vietti and Wiseman would be starting from scratch, just because Netflix told them they had another season to make. They had a whole third season and beyond mapped out.

Not just any cartoon: one that lots of people clearly have strong affinity for. If Teen Titans Go were cancelled today no one would really care.

*CyberCubed* · 03-15-2016, 05:58 PM

I don't trust Weisman either. If we get a third season watch him end the finale on yet another cliffhanger just so he can try to get a fourth season. He will probably do it purposely.

*TheSkeletonMan939* · 03-15-2016, 06:07 PM

Weisman has said numerous times he never ends his seasons on cliffhangers, nor would he do so to get another season. That's stupid to assert; the decision is out of his hands anyway.

His shows don't have definite ends so that there's always an opening for the next adventure, whether he makes one or not.

I am on my toes still. My very tippy-toes.

Then why were you acting like an expert regarding what Netflix might do with YJ? It was obvious you had no clue how the Netflix model works.

You shut your mouth.

*sdp* · 03-15-2016, 11:54 PM

I just don't see this happening since its been too long and even if it got renewed it'd still take a year after it happened to get a S3, would anyone who watched the show now even care? It just makes more sense for Netflix to fund a DC cartoon instead of this revival. All this "trending" is pointless as internet fandom is not equal to ratings. I'd love a S3 but not gonna happen

Of course the show would have another cliffhanger, Greg Weismen for as good as he is, he's also damn crazy and over protective on what he works with. He's absolutely nuts which is a shame since he's so talented. No company should ever give him full creative control over a project.

Just because its above your comprehension doesn't mean things aren't happening or that shows greenlit by netflix aren't amazing.

And what's wrong with cartoons making a comeback? It's rare but it should be done. And look who's talking about people clinging to the past. You re-watch old shows all the time.

So nothing really happened with this, right? I knew the people expecting netflix to revive a DC cartoon were grasping at straws.

It takes more than a few weeks for approvals and stuff to go through, you know. Even if Netflix decided to make a third season the very day that hashtag started being used, I'm sure they'd still today have a lot of work ahead of them before even thinking of announcing it publicly.

They need to get the rights, estimate based on people's schedules when work can begin, make sure they can even get everyone on board, get in touch with animation studios, and probably dozens of other things I can't even think of... it's more than just asking DC and WB for permission.

Completely correct. The biggest obstacle in all this is DC/WB hammering out a deal with Netflix bc DC will not allow Netflix to freely make a profit off their intellectual property.

*CyberCubed* · 04-03-2016, 07:58 PM

That's what makes me think this is not going to happen. Even if netflix wants to do it, DC/WB probably don't care about seeing a cartoon that never made much money be revived.

*oldmanwinters* · 04-03-2016, 08:03 PM

Eh, I liked Young Justice, but by the end of Season 2, I was kind of exhausted with the endless teases about the villains' "master plan" and all the speculation about triple agents on the team. I can't say the final episode payoff was worth the season long build up either.

I will say, however, that the final episode will always be special to me on account of the Three Speedsters saving the day... with young Wally West sacrificing himself due to the sadly ironic fact that he was so much slower than his mentor and his protegee. A poetic end, honestly.

Toy sales may have sucked, but I've heard several people mention that the show was doing great, ratings-wise. That's what the companies involved would be after - strong viewership. As far as I know Netflix cares little about how the merchandise, if they even make any, sells.

What's doubly ironic is that Wally was going to retire from the superhero world for good after this last mission... be careful what you wish for, I guess.

*CyberCubed* · 04-03-2016, 08:06 PM

If it gets renewed I expect 13 episodes at most just to wrap up the show. I'd be fine with that, this is not a series that needs to go on forever. Just do the Darkseid plot in one last 13 ep season and finish the show off properly.
