'DuckTales' Is Coming To An End, Will Air 90 Minute Series Finale Special In March

The Disney XD series DuckTales is ending after three seasons on the network!

It was just announced that the show will come to a close on March 15th, with an epic 90 minute series finale, solving mysteries and rewriting history.

DuckTales aired for 75 episodes, and also produced over 15 shorts. Past episodes and shorts are all available to stream on Disney+.

The voice cast of the series – David Tennant (Scrooge McDuck), Danny Pudi (Huey), Ben Schwartz (Dewey), Bobby Moynihan (Louie), Kate Micucci (Webby Vanderquack), Beck Bennett (Launchpad McQuack), Toks Olagundoye (Mrs. Beakley) and Paget Brewster (Della Duck) – all reunited for one last zoom call and did a dramatic reading of the theme song. Check it out below!

In the finale titled “The Last Adventure!,” the future of adventuring hangs in the balance as the Duck family uncovers earth-shattering secrets in a final standoff with the Fiendish Organization for World Larceny (F.O.W.L.).

Returning guest voices include Lin-Manuel Miranda, Giancarlo Esposito, Julie Bowen, Jaime Camil, Jameela Jamil, Catherine Tate, Stephanie Beatriz, Paul F. Tompkins, Jim Rash, Margo Martindale, Jason Mantzoukas, John Hodgman, Retta, Kimiko Glenn, Libe Barer, Jaleel White and Amy Sedaris. Noël Wells and Riki Lindhome guest star as sisters, June and May, respectively.

“It has been an absolute honor to adventure along with the Duck Family for three seasons of derring-do bad and good luck tales,” executive producer Matt Youngberg and co-executive producer Francisco Angones said in a statement. “Ever since Carl Barks took a silly squawking duck from a funny animal cartoon and sent him looking for pirate gold, these characters have been part of a constantly evolving legacy of invention and reinvention. We set out to honor all those things that we’ve loved about DuckTales since we were kids and introduce new parts of that legacy for families around the globe. Along the way, our stellar crew, unbelievable cast and endlessly supportive fans have become a bit of a family ourselves. And it has been a great joy to solve mysteries and rewrite history alongside them.”

The series finale special will encore non-stop for 24 hours following its premiere. Leading up to the finale, Disney XD will debut new episodes every Monday beginning February 22nd at 7pm EST/PST, and will present a week-long DuckTales marathon of every aired episode beginning Monday, March 8th at 7:30pm EST/PST.

In addition, three new “Chibi Tiny Tales” shorts, featuring Chibi-style versions of favorite DuckTales characters, will roll out beginning Friday, February 26th, on Disney XD, DisneyNOW and Disney Channel YouTube.
