Matt Youngberg and Frank Angones’ Letter to Fans:
We’ve always said that you have to go into every season of a show as if it’s your last, leave nothing on the table, and have faith that your team will eventually be able to top it. With that in mind, we crafted Season 3 of DuckTales as one focused on Legacy, on the future of the Duck Family, and what that means, tying into questions and mysteries that were set up way back in the very first episode of our show. So, ultimately, we were prepared for this season to be our last.
Our whole team is so proud to be part of the continuing legacy of these characters. Even more so, we’re proud of the community that this show has given us, from our dear friends on the crew and cast, to all the fans we’ve met both in person and online who share the same love that we have for these incredible characters. We’re sure we’ll have more to say later, but right now we want to thank you for all your kind words and support throughout this whole adventure, and focus on delivering a fittingly epic adventure for Clan McDuck as the series draws to a close. Because at the end of the day, we’re all fans. And we’re all family.
And family truly is the greatest adventure of all.
Huh. That’s weird. Usually there’s some kind of crash before we can finish th-
OH NO THE GROUND!!!!
Woo-oo,
Matt and Frank
