Production

Cancellation

In January 2013, Cartoon Network had meetings with potential clients and promotional partners in which they announced their 2013–14 programming lineup with Young Justice being absent.[5] A Warner Bros. Animation representative confirmed in an interview with Newsarama the cancellation of both Young Justice and Green Lantern: The Animated Series, with the DC Nation block replacing the series with Teen Titans Go! and Beware the Batman.[6] While a fan-campaign was created in the hopes of financing continuations for both shows, Warner Bros. halted the campaign in May as they did not believe the goal could be reached.[7]

In December 2013, Kevin Smith and Paul Dini claimed in an episode of Smith's podcast Fatman on Batman, that Young Justice was cancelled due to the program's high female viewership, as network executives did not believe girls would buy toys based on the show.[8] Greg Weisman however denied this rumor and in a January 2016 episode of "The Hip-Hop Nerd" podcast, revealed the real reason why it was canceled. The show's funding was based on a toy deal with the toy company Mattel and due to low toy-sales, Mattel pulled the funding. With no other source of income to replace the money Mattel provided, the series was effectively canceled.[9]

Revival

The possibility of Young Justice being revived first occurred in early February 2016 when the series was released on Netflix, with Weisman urging fans to watch all episodes "over and over" or buy the Blu-rays if they wished for a third season.[10] Weisman later clarified that while neither Warner Bros. or Netflix had expressed interest in picking up the show for a third season, high viewership on Netflix could motivate Warner Bros. into renewing the show.[11] During June, Weisman revealed that the possibility of Young Justice being renewed was "very real" but noted that fans needed to keep the show trending in order to convince Warner and Netflix of its potential.[12]

On November 7, 2016, it was officially confirmed by Sam Register, president of Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Digital Series, that Young Justice was renewed for a third, season stating that the dedicated fanbase and "[its] rallying cry for more episodes" resonated with them. It was also confirmed that Weisman and Brandon Vietti would be returning as showrunners.[13]

Development

On February 27, 2017, Phil Bourassa, lead character designer of Young Justice, revealed that he had begun working on the third season.[14] A week later, he revealed that some scripts had already been completed.[15] On April 25, it was revealed that the show's third season would be titled Young Justice: Outsiders and would debut in 2018 on DC's new digital service which would be launching the same year.[16]

In late May, it was revealed that Chris Copeland joined the crew as a storyboard artist.[17] In July, DC announced that due to Young Justice: Outsiders airing on a streaming service rather than a television channel, it will "skew more adult to keep up with the characters as they age".[18]

Outsiders had its own panel at San Diego Comic-Con International 2017 in July 21.[19] During the panel, which was presented by Weisman, Vietti and Bourassa, they revealed that the first 12 scripts had already been finalized, ten were still being written and four more had not been started yet; this brought the total number of episodes for Outsiders to 26. The teams current roster was also revealed, consisting of: Static, Kid Flash, Robin, Wonder Girl, Spoiler, Blue Beetle, Beast Boy, and Arsenal as well as new characters Arrowette and Thirteen. It was also revealed that Dick Grayson, Artemis Crock, and Superboy would all be returning.[20][21] Vandal Savage and the Light has been confirmed to return.[22]

Writing

When discussing the season three additions to "The Team" and its line-up, Weisman said that while the show would continue to focus on the characters introduced in the first season, they also wanted to introduce new characters as Young Justice is "a show about generations".[23] According to Vietti, Outsiders will revisit ideas that he and Weisman had originally planned while making the first two seasons of the show.[1]

Casting

The first voice actor confirmed to return was Khary Payton as Aqualad in February.[24] In May, Alyson Stoner was later confirmed to return.[2] In June, Nolan North revealed that he had recorded five episodes.[25] In July, Marina Sirtis confirms she will return to voice Queen Bee.[3] Britt Baron has been cast.[26] Due to the death of Miguel Ferrer in January 2017, it is unclear who will voice Vandal Savage for this season.

Release

Young Justice: Outsiders is set to start airing during 2018 on DC Comics's new digital media service.[16]
