DuckTales is officially coming to an end, with the series finale set to air in 2021. Disney representatives confirmed the news to IGN on Wednesday. Production on the series has already been completed. "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," Disney representatives said in a statement. "While physical production has wrapped, DuckTales continues to be available daily on Disney Channels and Disney+ around the world and fans will get an epic season finale in 2021."

A writer for Collider tweeted that he saw a lot of people using the hashtag but heard the show was already canceled. A report from Collider was then published on Wednesday, and Disney confirmed the news hours later. DuckTales is ending right when a Darkwing Duck spinoff is reportedly coming to Disney+. Disney hasn't officially confirmed the spinoff's existence, but Variety says that the series is in early development and will be executive produced by Seth Rogen. The Darkwing Duck character also recently appeared in an episode of DuckTales, though it's unclear if the new series will revolve around that same version of the character. The third season of the DuckTales reboot began airing in 2020 with no word that it would be the show's last. The latest episode, a Christmas special, aired November 30 on Disney XD.
