Doom Patrol fans were concerned that the excellent HBO Max series might be cancelled following its third season, but the most dysfunctional super-team in the DC Universe will be back for another sure-to-be chaotic adventure, and we have a first official look at season 4 right here.

The still introduces a brand-new character who'll be joining the misfit gang, Casey Brinke, AKA Space Case, played by The Nanny and Californication actress Madeline Zima.

"Casey is so beloved both by our writers on staff, and by fans of Doom Patrol in general," showrunner Jeremy Carver tells EW. "We finally found a way to bring her into the story in a way that feels wholly organic to us, even though to someone who's never seen Doom Patrol, it might seem a little bats--- insane. To us, it fits perfectly! And it's not just a cameo."

While the first three seasons of Doom Patrol were primarily influenced by Grant Morrison's '80s comic book run, Space Case's debut suggests that the show will be drawing inspiration from Gerard Way and Nick Derrington's more modern take on the team.

In the comics, Casey is closely connected to Danny the Street, and Carver promises that the upcoming season will feature "a very special episode" about Danny and the Danny-zens.

A premiere date for Doom Patrol season 4 has yet to be announced, but we'll be sure to keep you updated.

I can confirm, space case has a pretty face. But can she keep pace in the race while in a chase armed with mace?

Hopefully it is organic, because the last 2 seasons they've thrown in a lot of characters to the mix and felt unimpactful. Squeezing too much from different runs of the comics kinda diminishes it.

I’m still stuck on season 2… I’ve been watching this show very slowly as I like it but sometimes it’s too slow to binge watch for me.

I like how colorful Casey's outfit is, I had heard about her before back when I was trying to know as much about the Doom Patrol characters for the show but this is the first time I will fully see the character.

So yes I'm curious to check out her character and how she interacts with the rest.

With that said I'll always wonder/hope that one day they could do a more action-wise Doom Patrol like in past comics and like in the animated clips + Teen Titans show, the only place where Mento was showcased as a member of the team.

Season 3 sucked major balls. Hope this one's better.

Maybe it’s appropriate that “the most dysfunctional super-team in the DC Universe” is still on under one of the most dysfunctional major studios out there. Here’s to DC getting it’s act together soon. From a fan.
