DC Chief James Gunn clears the air around ‘Doom Patrol’, ‘Titans’ cancellations

Washington [US], January 27 (ANI): American filmmaker and DC chief James Gunn has cleared the air over the recent cancellations of ‘Doom Patrol’ and ‘Titans’ and stated that he’s not the one to be blamed for this.

According to Deadline, a USA-based entertainment news outlet, Warner Bros.-Discovery announced that both shows will end with their fourth seasons, offering two legs of six episodes for a total of 12 shows to close things out. Some people had speculated that the cancellations were part of the changes Gunn and Peter Safran are bringing to DC Studios as they attempt to redevelop its faltering Universe.

“The decision to end the series precedes us. But I certainly wish the best for the talented group of creators, actors, and the rest of the crew that produced both shows,” Gunn said on Twitter.
