It’s been officially known for some time that Young Justice: Outsiders will launch on January 4th, 2019, via the DC Universe service. But once subscribers are done marking their calendars, they’ll also want to prepare for “expanded” versions of the first two seasons, a behind-the-scenes documentary series for the new Outsiders season, and a prequel comic book, too.
The documentary series, titled Making of Young Justice: Outsiders, will be giving DC Universe subscribers a dose of Young Justice during the week, as well, as they wait for new episodes to arrive each Friday. Check out the official details below:
DC Daily host and Young Justice: Outsiders voice talent Whitney Moore hosts a rare inside look at the production of the series. A production crew followed Whitney during the making of the most recent season resulting in five, 10-minute behind-the scenes episodes which will be released following the premiere, on Tuesdays starting on January 8. DC Daily is the daily news program that airs on DC UNIVERSE. DC hosts and talent share the latest news from the world of DC. Stay tuned for more information and previews coming soon on DC Daily.
You can also count on each Tuesday – starting December 4th – to bring Season 1 & 2 Enhanced Episodes running through the end of the month. These episodes will take fans back to rewatch past seasons, accompanied by “commentary, interviews and inside information from from a wide range of Young Justice experts” in both audio and video form. With the The Whelmed Podcast‘s Rich Howard, Emily Buza, and Neal Powell, DC talents Sam Humphries, Bernard Chang, James Tynion IV, and Mike Carlin, and Young Justice producers Greg Weisman and Brandon Vietti, and art director Phil Bourassa confirmed as part of the “enhanced” team, the trailer below shows how their insights will be delivered to subscribers weekly:
And just to make sure that Young Justice is encouraging fans to use the DC Universe service in all its multimedia channels, two 10-page chapters of a Young Justice: Outsiders prequel comic book will also be made available exclusively to subscribers. Written by Young Justice: Outsiders producer Greg Weisman with art by Christopher Jones, the comic chapters will be released on January 2nd and 3rd, ahead of the show’s launch on January 4th.
