Season 4 of Young Justice is one of the most highly anticipated releases. It is no secret that season 3 was released 6 years after the release of season 2--however, the gap between seasons 3 and 4 is unlikely to be that long despite the Covid-19 pandemic. The creators have kept most things under a veil, however, certain things are known about the upcoming season.

10 The Subtitle Of The New Season

The new season of Young Justice was announced at the San Diego Comic-con in 2019--however, the creators had failed to disclose the subtitle of the new season during that time. Sometime later, there was another Young Justice panel at the DC FanDome, where the creators announced that the season would be called "Young Justice: Phantoms."

Although the plot has been kept a secret, the subtitle hints at some of the storylines. The possibilities are endless as they have an entire multiverse at their disposal to create one of the wildest plots.

9 The Possible Storyline

Young Justice has had a history of adapting unconventional storylines from the comics and it would not be surprising for them to do the same with the upcoming season. The end of season three hinted at the possibility of Legion Of Superheroes entering the Young Justice timeline with their time-traveling abilities.

There are many ways that the next season could go and the wait seems neverending to the dedicated viewers.

8 The Length Of The New Season

Not a lot is known about the new season of Young Justice. However, the duration of the season is most likely to be 26 episodes. This fits in with the length of previous seasons except for season 2 where it was only 20 episodes long.

The wait between the anticipation of these episodes and the eventual episodes themselves is huge. Hopefully, the creators would be able to utilize the duration well rather than dragging the series or hurrying the plotlines. Fans have hoped to see the character growth and development of their favorite heroes.

The artists are one of the most important aspects of creating an animated show. Without them, the conceptualization would not take place and there wouldn't be anyone who would turn the characters from the page to the screen.

Phil Bourassa and Dou Hong are working on the lead character design, Christopher Jones is the storyboard revisionist, Emily Hu and Kelly Kao are the storyboard artists, and Cole Rothacker is the assistant production manager.
