Not much info, other than coming out in 2024.  
I likes season 3 enough to watch this.

Well, I’m looking forward to it even though, as I think I probably said at the end of the last season thread, I feel the ‘superheroes lose their powers’ trope has been well trodden, I hope they make something entertaining out of it.

IMO Season 2 was considerably better than 1 and 3. They haven’t limited the story though, so 4 could be even better than 2. More likely not I think. Just the wait is going to make it more difficult to meet expectations. And isn’t their teenage star in his late-30s by now? Maybe not that much time passed but that guy has to be getting tired of appearing to look like a child.

I was surprised by the announcement. I was actually fine with the way Season 3 ended at wrapping up the series.

I’ll watch it for sure. . . though I was disappointed in season 3. I just got the feeling that they were running out of ideas. You know, they could do other things beside getting stuck in some other time.

Heads-up bump: Season 4 has arrived!

I’ve only watched the first ep, but so far they seem to be taking my advice from the end of the S3 thread ☺

> ISTM that ‘heroes lose their powers’ is a pretty well-worn trope in the super hero genre and, although the family dynamics are an interesting part of the show, I hope they don’t draw out getting their powers back in the next season. I’m hoping for a time jump - something like ‘4 years later’ (that will get us out of 2019 to the present too, and deal with Five’s aging) and we get to see how each of them has hilariously progressed (or not!) as normals before, whoop, their powers mysteriously start to reappear. And of course… APOCALYPSE!

I binged the last season. I feel like I wasted 5 years of my life watching this series if that’s how they’re ending it.

Just finished Season 4. Like the previous seasons I enjoyed it, even if feel like I only understood, like, 60% of it.

Just finished too. Yeah read pretty bad reviews so wasn’t expecting much. Maybe that’s why it exceeded expectations? I enjoyed it. Yah it doesn’t all make sense but no less sense than any other season. Certainly a reveal or two I hadn’t expected. Not a show to try to think too hard over.

And I liked the ending!
