HBO Max has announced that Doom Patrol is set to return to our screens for its fourth season on December 8, and the first teaser trailer debuted earlier tonight during New York Comic-Con.
The footage begins with the return of season 3's Were-Butts, who are now performing show tunes (Shipoopi)! Does this make them less or more dangerous? We're not too sure, but the team appears to have their hands full dealing with the singing sphincters!
We also get some brief glimpses of new characters, such as Codpiece and Casey Brinke, AKA Space Case, along with our returning heroes.
The official synopsis tells is that: “Season 4 opens with the team unexpectedly travelling 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 own happiness or the fate of the world?”
Season 4 of Doom Patrol will see the return of Brendan Fraser as Cliff Steele (aka Robotman), Matt Bomer as Larry Trainor (aka Negative Man), Diane Guerrero as “Crazy Jane,” April Bowlby as Rita Farr (aka Elasti-Woman), Joivan Wade as Victor “Vic” Stone (aka Cyborg), and Michelle Gomez as Laura de Mille (aka Madame Rouge).
The show will premiere with two episodes in December, with a single instalment following every Thursday through Jan. 5. Six additional episodes will be released sometime in 2023.
