The first part of the fourth season of DC's Doom Patrol will return to HBO Max on Thursday, December 8, and a new trailer features a surprisingly deadly and... musical bunch of creatures.
December 8 will see the first two episodes of Doom Patrol premiere on HBO Max, and a new episode will be released each week until January 5, 2023. There will then be a mid-season break, and six more episodes will arrive later in 2023.
Daddy’s home!

Doom Patrol follows a group of people who all "suffered a horrible accident that gave them superhuman abilities, but also left them scarred and disfigured. Part support group, part Super Hero team, the Doom Patrol is a band of superpowered freaks who fight for a world that wants nothing to do with them."
This new season will open with "the team unexpectedly traveling 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?"
We chose Doom Patrol as one of our favorite comic book shows of 2021, and said that it is "is f***king fun. Full stop. Picking up right where its pandemic-shortened second season left off, Doom Patrol continues to be a real damned delight. While the team from the comics has been retconned and reimagined countless times over the years, it’s always been, at minimum, weird."
