The show is currently airing the second half of its third season, which is slated to finish up next month. The season, subtitled Outsiders, has received positive reviews from fans and critics and kicked off its run as a ratings hit. While the numbers have taken a slight dip during the second half, they have stayed consistent.
Young Justice has been through a lot since it first debuted on Cartoon Network in 2010. After airing two seasons on the channel, the show was abruptly cancelled in 2013. But fans weren’t ready to give up on the series, and they launched an online campaign in the hopes of reviving it. This, paired with the show’s strong numbers on Netflix, led Warner Bros. to renew it for a new season back in 2016.

The show originally centered on a covert superhero team, which consisted of Justice League mentees Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Miss Martian, Superboy and Artemis. After the first season, the story was broadened to focus on newer characters, taking viewers to different corners of the DC Universe in the process. And with this renewal, Young Justice will most likely continue to expand on the mythology it’s created.
