Update: Disney has confirmed our reporting with the following official statement: “The talented creative team, led by Matt Youngberg and Francisco Angones, have delivered exceptional storytelling with uniquely reimagined characters for three seasons of 75 episodes and more than 15 shorts. While physical production has wrapped, ‘DuckTales’ continues to be available on Disney Channels and Disney+ around the world and fans will get an epic season finale in 2021.”

Yesterday, the hashtag #RenewDuckTales2017 was trending on Twitter. When
I chimed in, stating that the rebooted
DuckTales wouldn’t actually be coming back after completing the last few episodes of its typically superlative Season 3, well, that tweet unexpectedly blew up. So today I am writing to say, yes,
DuckTales is done – and to give you the story behind its lack of a renewal.
Firstly,
DuckTales has been finished for a little while now. Last September the team was informed that the show was over and they began closing up shop. The wonderfully talented crew has already begun working on other shows: For example,
Dana Terrace, who directed a handful of the very best
DuckTales episodes, now has her own brilliant series on Disney Channel,
The Owl House (Season 2 coming soon!)
I'm all for regular animation as opposed to 3D but the artstyle just made them all look weird
