So this just happened. For all you Young Justice Fans out there, one of the original showrunners, Greg Weisman, has some positive news for us. Previously, our own Mick Joest wrote about Netflix taking a look at the viewing numbers for a potential Young Justice Season 3, and now we have some additional pieces of info on how you can help make this a reality. On a recent episode of Kirblog, Weisman let us know that while he does work for Nickelodeon now and no longer Warner Brothers, he has had conversations with both parties (Warner Brothers and Netflix) and has a better understanding of where they are with reviving the show. The podcast is worth listening to and can be found here.

Weisman explains that in order to understand how we can make this happen, we have to understand why the show was cancelled in the first place. The actual budget of the show was paid for by Mattel in return for the toy licensing. The issue is that with the toy line failing, Mattel pulled their funding, and the show was left dead in the water. If we are able to generate revenue through different ways, then we can make this happen. As Weisman puts it, it would take a push from a few major organizations — Netflix, DC Comics, and Warner Brothers. He even provided us with a few different things we can do as fans to help make the movement happen:

A.      Binging on Netflix - This shows Netflix the series is wanted and if a 3rd season were released fans would eagerly watch.

B.      Buying new Young Justice DVDs/Blu-ray/on iTunes - This shows Warner Brothers and Warner Brothers Home Entertainment that financially, this is a viable product. Used copies would not go to Warner Brothers, so only purchasing new helps.

C.      Buying the E-Comics either on iTunes or Comixology – This shows DC Comics that there is an interest in this product and will help in conversations with Warner Brothers.

Even taking to Twitter, Weisman advises fans to use hashtags #KeepBingingYJ and #BuyYJBluRaysDVDs. We are closer than we have ever been before to a Young Justice Season 3. There are already plans and a story for the third season, they just need our support! I don’t know about you guys, but I could use another “Hello, Megan!” and I want to find out what happens to Wally after that finale! I just wonder if fans of the series will go out of their way to purchase it when they can stream it on Netflix for free. Only time will tell. #KeepBingingYJ

With the possibility of a Young Justice 3rd Season on Netflix up in the air, series producer Greg Weisman was kind enough to explain some important facts about how you, the fans, can support the prospect of a 3rd Season really happening!
