Just heard about the possible confirmed cancellation of YJA and I need.. I dunno. Do you have wisdom or comfort? :(. I’m at a loss so I’m turning to my favorite blog
Hey <3 I usually like to answer my asks in order but I feel urs is better addressed now because i’m sure a lot of ppl share the same sentiment which I understand, it’s a show that’s important to so many of us and it would be amazing to get confirmed for a fifth season.
Below are some screenshots that I feel might help clarify the situation a bit:

For those who might not knw Chris Jones he’s done a lot of art for YJ, including story boarding and is also the artist behind YJ Targets. He’s also gd friends with Greg. Some context to what he’s saying is that when YJ first got renewed from it’s actual post season 2 cancellation years later, it was only renewed for one season by the DC Universe streaming/production service. After season 3 came to an end if i remember correctly it was around 3 months before we even got word on a possible season 4. When it was confirmed that it would be serviced by HBO Max, this was only again for one season. Basically the show gets renewed on a season by season basis, which isn’t atypical, most HBO Max originals (e.x Our Flag means death) also only got renewed months later on an individual season basis.
One of the biggest problems with the production behind YJ in recent years is that it’s always been by a platform that’s going through major changes and again as y’all might have heard, now that Discovery and Warner have merged, there’s major shake up everywhere especially HBO Max. This means any expected time frame of these things is much less predictable. Considering when things were relatively “stable” there was still a considerable waiting time on news, now with all that’s going on with WB the “waiting time” on things will be longer. But YJ isn’t in any different state now compared to months ago, there is no news on the matter. Right now it’s a topic of whether it’ll get renewed or not, not so much about cancellation. The latest news report on it was just some staff member saying that theres no update on YJ situation but it got spun into something completely different to worry a lot of fans.
The best we can do for this type of situation is understand wats actually going on and also try to help in all the renewal efforts that a lot of ppl organise (mainly through the #RenewYoungJustice #SaveEarth16 and #YoungJustice tags on twitter) . A good way to stay updated on this is through the YJ Reddit and Discord which often clarify all this and where I stay updated. Below is a good explanation on the subject :

Basically, the best we can do is take part in those projects and stream the show as much as we can on HBO Max to show our support.
It also doesn’t hurt to purchase the YJ Targets comics to show support ! If anything, it would show support in the franchise itself (helping our chances with Renewal). We could even get more comics too if there’s enough public interest.
These things can be rlly upsetting so I hope I managed to clarify and maybe even share some comfort in the clarification of the situation and hope I can keep sharing YJ content (let’s be real in my case it’s mainly Bart Allen material lol) for ppl to enjoy with me :)
