THE OWL HOUSE Final Episodes Are Almost Here, It Is The End! What Can Take Its Place

We have all probably read the information that the last season of The Owl House will kick off Saturday October 15th on Disney Channel with the first episode of three in a 44-minute special. We also do not know the dates of the rest of the season but we can assume that the next two episodes will not air until 2023, which is a long wait. This first episode titled “Thanks to Them” will pick up right where we left off and gives us more of Emperor Belos and the Collector. Really though the biggest issue we have is with The Owl House leaving, we don’t really have any serialized animated Disney shows left. While Hamster & Gretel is a fun show, it is not truly a serialized show and we thought we would have had something announced to take the place of Amphibia and The Owl House, yet here we are waiting. From a television standpoint there is this issue of a serialized show needing to be watched in order and regularly, you normally just don’t flip it on unless you have watched that episode once already and this is where many the team over at Disney sees the disconnect. They don’t all have to be serialized, and maybe they are keeping anything that they are going to do in that format to live-action, but we are missing the animated show that fits that bill. What also seems “off” is that while this show is ending (and it didn’t have to) they are still doing extensions for the show, we just don’t understand that.

Here is to hoping that with the power of these serialized mature audience live action shows like The Rings of Power, House of the Dragon, and others lead to some more serialized animated shows in the fantasy realm for Disney. I mean who didn’t love Amphibia? We are looking forward to the next episodes of The Owl House, but knowing that it is almost over is tough as well.
