“As of June 16, 2012, the show is currently on hiatus as it was not featured in Cartoon Network’s official 2012-13 schedule which led to speculations that the show has been cancelled. However, Cartoon Network has denied the speculations.”
There’s no source for this statement, but it hasn’t been removed from the site yet. Does this prove anything?
As said before, i think they are not in this lineup because it takes long time to make the episodes. Which would mean that instead of a new season each new Septempber, it comes every OTHER september and thus is not on for this years schedule.
Or they might release the next season next July like they did with season 1. And if CN has denied the cancellation of the show. It’s more than likely hear something about next season at the San Diego Comic-Con.
Hopefully the long wait between season 1/2 is just because they didn’t wanna get fully invested into Thundercats incase it failed. If they do decide early on to do a season 3, they will start production during season 2. One can only hope.
Considering they probably have making episodes down to a formula now, I think the second season won’t take as long to make, considering they’re not starting from scratch.
And despite what they may think, it won’t make us shut up about it.
Here’s a scenario: Let’s say it isn’t cancelled. What they think is probably that we’re expecting a new season too early, but what they don’t realize is that only they know it’s confirmed for a second season. And another thing they probably think is that we’ll watch their channel more in hopes of seeing a new episode eventually.
In other words, they most likely think we’re stupid.
On of the things to consider too is the workload WB animation has. While they may not do the actual animation themselves they are producing multiple shows currently airing such as Young Justice, all the DC Nation shorts, Green Lantern, plus the new Batman series coming out, and that’s not even taking into consideration whatever projects they are doing that have not been released yet. SO their manpower seems stretched thin right now.
Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise because I for one could do for a change in writers for TCats to get a more consistent show if they decide to shake things up a bit. So while the show may not be cancelled they may tweak it. Remember they have a whole season to reflect/improve on now. You an’t start something unless you know what to fix from the previous version afterall.
