DuckTales is ending right when a Darkwing Duck spinoff is reportedly coming to Disney+. Disney hasn’t officially confirmed the spinoff’s existence, but Variety says that the series is in early development and will be executive produced by Seth Rogen. The Darkwing Duck character also recently appeared in an episode of DuckTales, though it’s unclear if the new series will revolve around that same version of the character.

The third season of the DuckTales reboot began airing in 2020 with no word that it would be the show’s last. The latest episode, a Christmas special, aired November 30 on Disney XD.

DuckTales made IGN’s list of the best comfort food movies and TV shows and DuckTales-themed Minecraft DLC was released in 2019. Petey Oneto is a freelance writer for IGN.
