In 2017, Disney made the dreams
of many kids who grew up in the late 1980s to 1990s come true. As a refresher,
that period was when the animated series “Ducktales” premiered and later became
a pillar of the Disney Afternoon syndicated block. What came out in 2017 was a
reboot of the show, with a memorable voice cast (10th Doctor as
Scrooge McDuck? YES) and a solid episodic narrative tied with overarching myth
plots filled with awesome callbacks across three seasons on Disney XD and
Disney Channel. The bad news is that it will end with season 3, but at least
the production is letting it go real epic-like.
According to Comic Book Resources, the last episode of the third season of the “Ducktales”
reboot series, airing on March 15 as a three-part 90-season finale, will also
be getting a marathon sendoff. “The Last Adventure,” upon its premiere date and
time on Disney XD, will then repeat non-stop for a full 24-hour period. Most
viewers and “Ducktales” fans with Disney XD will not miss a single moment of
that finale. The main voice cast even got together for a brick joke of their
singing the theme song before the series began, except this time it is a
dramatic reading.
“Ducktales” season 3 will resume
following its lengthy mid-season break on February 22, after which new episodes
will premiere every Monday until March 15. But on the week before, starting
March 8, Disney XD will also rerun every single episode of the series all the
way from its season 1 pilot episode “Woo-oo!” While the whole gimmick is giving
the feel of a lasting farewell to the reboot, all episodes will of course be
available binge streaming on Disney+, and they will stay there even after the
TV run ends, and no spinoff series materialize.
The finale episode, “The Last
Adventure,” will see Scrooge McDuck, his family and allies gather for one final
confrontation with his once-hidden nemesis the Fiendish Organization of World
Larceny (FOWL) in a scramble for treasure.
