Young Justice Reveals Episode Count For Season 3

Young Justice has taken the stage at San Diego Comic-Con, and fans who are waiting for season 3 just got a lot to look forward to.

That’s because the team behind the fan favorite series revealed that the new season will take place over 26 episodes. ComicBook.com’s Charlie Ridgeley is covering the panel, where Greg Weisman said “We have 12 scripts final and another 10 or so in the works. We’ve recorded all or part of 10 episodes with our amazing cast of returning and new actors”

That is 26 episodes total, though they did add “The last four we haven’t started yet. We know where we’re going with them.”

The good news is that this is not a truncated season, giving the team ample time to deal with the ramifications of season 2’s big finale, where the team lost one of their own. That’s not to mention the overall arc involving Darkseid working with the other villains, though that depends on if there is a significant time jump or not at the beginning of the season.

There was a time jump between seasons 1 and 2, so it’s likely there will be one with season 3 as well, though nothing is confirmed yet.

Young Justice currently enjoys an 81.57 on ComicBook.com’s composite rankings, which you can vote on here. The description for season 3 is included below.

“In “Young Justice: Outsiders,” the teenage Super Heroes of the DC Universe come of age in an animated world of super-powers, Super-Villains and super secrets. In the highly anticipated new season, the team faces its greatest challenge yet as it takes on meta-human trafficking and the terrifying threat it creates for a society caught in the crossfire of a genetic arms race spanning the globe and the galaxy.”

Sam Register (“Teen Titans Go!,” “Justice League Action”) is executive producer of “Young Justice.” Brandon Vietti (“Batman: Under the Red Hood,” “Superman Doomsday”) and Greg Weisman (“Star Wars Rebels,” “Gargoyles”) are producers of the series, produced by Warner Bros. Animation. Emmy Award winner Phil Bourassa (“Young Justice,” “Justice League Dark,” “Teen Titans: The Judas Contract”) serves as the series’ art director.

Young Justice: Outsiders will return in 2018.
