The final episode of DuckTales will air on Disney XD on March 15 at 7:00 pm ET/PT.

The "DuckTales" series finale special will encore non-stop for 24 hours following its premiere. Leading up to the finale, Disney XD will debut new episodes every Monday beginning FEB. 22 (7:00 p.m. EST/PST) and will present a week-long "DuckTales" marathon of every aired episode beginning MONDAY, MARCH 8 (7:30 p.m. EST/PST).

Executive producer Matt Youngberg and co-executive producer Francisco Angones shared a statement about the show's upcoming final episode and the overall arc of the animated series, noting, "It has been an absolute honor to adventure along with the Duck Family for three seasons of derring-do bad and good luck tales. Ever since Carl Barks took a silly squawking duck from a funny animal cartoon and sent him looking for pirate gold, these characters have been part of a constantly evolving legacy of invention and reinvention."
The producers added, "We set out to honor all those things that we've loved about DuckTales since we were kids and introduce new parts of that legacy for families around the globe. Along the way, our stellar crew, unbelievable cast and endlessly supportive fans have become a bit of a family ourselves. It's been a great joy to solve mysteries and rewrite history alongside them."
Disney XD's DuckTales debuted in 2017 and although it started as a reboot to the original 80s series, it grew into its own unmatched realm of quippy callbacks and quirky humor. The series paid homage to several animated series from The Disney Afternoon lineup, including Adventures of the Gummi Bears, Tailspin, Quack Pack, Goof Troop, Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers and Darkwing Duck.
Based on the 1987 series of the same name, DuckTales stars the voices of David Tennant, Danny Pudi, Ben Schwartz, Bobby Moynihan, Kate Micucci, Beck Bennett, Toks Olagundoye, Tony Anselmo and Paget Brewster. All current seasons are available to stream on Disney+ and there are no current plans to remove the series from the platform.
