Doom Patrol Season 4 Part II Release Date, Cast, Plot, and More

HBO Max’s smashing hit Doom Patrol is back for a fourth season, and the fans are excited.

The previous season of the show was a roller coaster ride. Our not-so-heroes fought off the Candlemaker (voiced by Lex Lang) and mourned the death of their beloved Chief (Timothy Dalton). They then died by the second episode, became undead (as zombies obviously), became un-undead (as in resurrected), and made sure to fight till the last breath.

One of the quirkiest shows based on DC Comics, Doom Patrol has received positive ratings from critics and has been a fan favorite since its release. So much so that HBO Max picked up the series for Season 4, shortly after Season 3 premiered back in September 2021.

The show is set after the events of Titans, a series currently streaming on HBO Max, and already has a spinoff in the works with The Dead Boy Detectives.

Let’s dive into further details of the hit show’s latest season.

1. When will Doom Patrol Season 4 Part II Release?

Doom Patrol Season 4 is set to have 12 episodes, but instead of releasing them all at once, HBO has decided to split them into two chunks of six episodes each.

Since the Titans Season 4 is expected to begin after the break, the second half of Doom Patrol Season 4 will premiere in 2023.

Doom Patrol originally started premiering on Thursday, December 8, 2022. Two episodes of the new season were available on HBO on premiere day, followed by an episode weekly until January 5, 2023.

The season will conclude later in the year with an additional six episodes.

2. Doom Patrol Season 4 Cast and Crew

The show comprises an ensemble cast of brilliant actors. It includes Diane Guerrero as Crazy Jane, Doctor Harrison, and Kay Challis, April Bowlby as Rita Farr/Elasti-Woman, Jovian Wade as Vic Stone, Michelle Gomez as Laura De Mille/Madam Rogue, Matt Bomer as Larry Trainor/Negative Man, Matthew Zuk as Larry Trainor/Negative Man, Brendan Fraser as Cliff Steele/Robotman, and Riley Shanahan as Cliff Steele/Robotman.

The show boasts a recurring cast comprising Bethany Anne Lind as Clara Steele, Phil Morris as Silas Stone, Mark Sheppard as Willoughby Kipling, Abigail Shapiro as Dorothy Spinner, Madeline Zima as Casey Brinke, Elijah Rashad Reed as Deric Hayes, Sendhil Ramamurthy as Jonathan Dubrovny/Mister 104, and Timeca Seretti as Doctor Janus.

3. Doom Patrol Season 4 Plot

Warner Bros. released a synopsis for Season 4 ahead of New York Comic-Con 2022, which goes like:

In the upcoming fourth season, the team unexpectedly travels to the future to find an unwelcome surprise. Faced with their imminent demise, the Doom Patrol must decide once and for all which is more important: their happiness or the fate of the world?

During an interview with SFX Magazine, showrunner Jeremy Carver elaborated on the season’s plot points. He said that Doom Patrol travels to the year 2042 via Madame Rogue’s time machine. There, the team is greeted with a post-apocalyptic world where most of the Doom Patrol members are dead.

In the past seasons, we have spent a good deal of time going back and seeing how our Doom Patrol got here. In this season, we are going to see—in really fun and poignant ways—the Doom Patrol travel to different points of time.

4. Is Doom Patrol worth watching?

Doom Patrol first premiered on February 15, 2019, and has been a fan favorite since then.

It remains one of the most-watched shows on HBO Max and has been successful in maintaining a loyal fanbase.

People who are still hesitant to give the show a shot due to certain recent DC projects not being well-received (The Batman being an exception) might feel more encouraged on hearing the reviews.

Doom Patrol has an overall Rotten Tomatoes score of an exceptional 97% given by the critics. It has received a positive reception from most of the top critics like CNN, Rolling Stone, Paste Magazine, etc, and has an IMDb rating of 7.8/10.

Season 4 of the hit show has already been creating waves, and the fans are already excited for the second part and a potential Season 5 in the future.

So, without much ado, just start binging Doom Patrol on HBO Max. Thank us later!
