Michelle Gomez Boards 3rd ‘Doom Patrol’ Season
The DC Universe streaming service and HBO Max worked through the second season of the property this past summer but the season was cut short by an episode due to the pandemic. That made it feel like it was a lock for a third season but if 2020 has taught us anything, don’t count on anything. So it was welcome news that as part of the second DC FanDome, HBO Max revealed that it has picked up the third season of the series and that it’ll be exclusive to the service. It’s expected to have a 2021 return.
The Doom Patrol is getting weirder in season 3.
Former Doctor Who and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina star Michelle Gomez will join the series for its third season as longtime Patrol foe, Madame Rogue, which promises to add more wild turns to an already fantastic series.

Specifically, well-meaning scientists accidentally unleash an ice age as they tried to curb the heating of the planet setting off an extinction event.
Luckily, mysterious billionaire Wilford builds a train with a perpetual-motion engine to circle the planet and keep only the most-deserving and wealthy of humans alive.
That translates into 3,000 survivors stuck on a 10-mile-long, 1,001-car train divided by classes first (for high-priced, paid passengers); second and third classes (for those with specialized skill sets to keep the train running and passengers fed); and a final group who illegally hijacked some of the rear cars of the train.
Led by Andre Layton (Daveed Diggs) and disrespectfully called tailers, they are treated with disdain and nearly slave status by the other passengers. Of course, Layton and his rebel survivors want more and hatch a plot to take control of the Snowpiercer.
