When the series returns, the team unexpectedly travels to the future to find an unwelcome surprise.

In about two weeks, Brendan Fraser, Diane Guerrero, April Bowlby, Joivan Wade, and Michelle Gomez will be at New York Comic Con (NYCC) for an exclusive discussion as well as a preview of what’s to come during the fourth go-around. But before that happens, we have confirmation today that fans can expect Doom Patrol Season 4 to hit streaming screens this December.
