Why You Can Trust CNET HBO Cancels DC Superhero Shows 'Doom Patrol' and 'Titans'
It wasn't James Gunn's idea.
Doom Patrol are done patrolling.
DC superhero shows Doom Patrol and Titans have been canceled by HBO Max. James Gunn and Peter Safran, the new bosses of DC movies and TV, say the decision had already been made when they took charge.
Maybe it's to make room for Succession season 4 (which just dropped a trailer and release date), but the superhero shows will end after their current fourth seasons. According to Variety, the makers of both shows have known for a while and will end the shows properly.
The decision to end the series precedes us. But I certainly wish the best for the talented group of creators, actors, and the rest of the crew that produced both shows. https://t.co/jdqDc9TqU1

On the plus side, the animated Harley Quinn series will continue.
Titans stars Brenton Thwaites, Anna Diop, Teagan Croft and Ryan Potter as young superheroes teaming up to defend Gotham City after the death of Batman. The weird and wonderful Doom Patrol stars recent Oscar nominee Brendan Fraser, along with Matt Bomer, April Bowlby, Diane Guerrero, Joivan Wade and Michelle Gomez. Earlier seasons featured Timothy Dalton as the team's founder.
