Of course, it wouldn’t be Doom Patrol without some weirdness. Fans can also expect a horde of sentient butts and a dance sequence in the final episodes. You can watch the new action-packed trailer here:

Season 4 mid-season logline: In the series’ gripping final episodes, the Doom Patrol meet old friends and foes as they race to defeat Immortus and get back their longevities. Battling between saving the world and each other, the Doom Patrol are forced to face their deepest fears and decide if they are ready to let go of the past in order to take their future into their own hands… and away from the zombie butts.

Fan speculation about Doom Patrol‘s final episodes being shelved led to DC Studios head James Gunn taking to social media app Threads back in July 2023 to confirm the episodes would still debut.

At the time, Gunn could not provide a release date. 

Doom Patrol is produced by Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. The series is based on characters created for DC by Arnold Drake, Bob Haney, and Bruno Premiani.
