Though there hasn’t been any official word, it looks like the new ThunderCats animated series has been cancelled.
A reboot of the 1980s ThunderCats TV show, the new series debuted on Cartoon Network last July with the first of 26 installments. The season was broken up into two parts and the finale aired this past Saturday. There’s been no word of plans for a second season.
What’s more, Cartoon Network announced their plans for the 2012-13 season and ThunderCats was noticeably absent from their list of returning series.
Matthew Mercer is the voice actor for Tygra. His girlfriend is actress Mirisha Ray and she believes that the show has been cancelled so she’s started a website to rally support.
While ThunderCats hasn’t been officially cancelled yet, the signs certainly don’t look positive. When/if we hear something definitive, we’ll be sure to let you know.
What do you think? Has ThunderCats been cancelled or will the show return for a second season? If it has ended, will you miss the series?
Man I really can’t believe how CN can hire Lamemo,Moronic, Fools to be the Cartoon Execs picking shows for our children that need to be in the dumpster. Shows like,Adventure Time,Regular Show,Level Up,and The Annoying Orange. These shows are mindless clones of one another by far for Television Execs to fill only their wallets and totally waste our time and the times of our children and not in a good way.These show are bad attempts at humor and low brow humor for shows that have already been done in the 90’s that were successful.I have three children who can not… Read more »

I really liked this show, growing up with the original series, i resisted this one at first. I never, thought id say this, but…this show is as awsome! I feel it matches (and is even better) then the original!!! The original series was wonderfull, but it is 2012 not 1985, the show needed updated. I loved the more “adult” approach-especailly tne new mutants, ssslithe, monkien and jacklemon are acctually a threat, they are bad a@@, and even creepy. If this is the end, its been a fun ride 🙂
I would literally cry if they stopped this show
I defenitely will miss the series if it doesn’t return!!
I want it renewed, This version of Thundercats is great, I love it, I am 31 and I still watch it. They cannot cancel it now. I want more. I just do not like how CN ends good shows so much. They cannot do this. I would like to see the show renewed so we can have a good end to the series the proper way.
this is a great show. ive watched it sence i was a kid. this series just braught it all back. we need to bring it back. people and kids crave this kind of cartoon. theres to many bad cartoons we need the thundercats bad!
I hope it hasn’t been canceled.Most of what’s on CN is Crap.Thundercats and Star Wars the Clone Wars were the Two Shows that were accualy good Quality.From what I hear,Clone Wars is in it’s fifth and final season.If CN is going to cancel any show,it should be something like Annoying Orange.
The problem is when good shows go away we just accept it. What we need to do is begin a petition to keep the show on and send it through facebook. He-man cancelled… Thundercats… cancelled. Young Justice is next and the Avengers. This just doesn’t make any sense.
I must say that i am truley let down tat this show has not been renewed. It was a great rendition of what i remember the 80’s versionto be . My kids loved it when we all sat together to whatch this show. As far as the toy line goes I kinda feel like that was a fault of their own . Only one of our local stores carried the merchandise and it was so limited. If you compared it to the rest of the toys or franchises like marvel, dc ,ect. it was almost hid in the mix .… Read more »
Ok. This just shows what morons Cartoon Execs are. We have shows like “Level Up” being renewed, come on, its not even a fracken cartoon for goodness sakes, and they cancel one of their highest rated shows next to adventure time? That with Disney’s rape of Spider Man (really, Venom is a derivative of Peter Parker’s DNA? What crap is that?) is just proof that execs should step aside and let the fan-boys make the decisions from now on. Though I will say that Young Justice and Avengers are excellent, and both were renewed though only Young Justice is on… Read more »
Thundercats is one of the BEST cartoon shows ever on Cartoon Network and I simply LOVE it. I will miss it definitely. They should work on season 2. This show has a lot to reveal.
I liked the 80s Thundercats and I really liked the 2011 Thundercats . I watched every episode and now I’m very disappointed that it is over (VERY) . As far as I’m concerned , it was as good as it gets !!! But then again I liked Tera Nova and The Good Guys . Watched every episode of each as well …
I think people forget the time period when each series came out and that causes most of the hatred for one version over the other. The 80s were more groundbreaking in violence was beginning to be placed into cartoons. Some countries actually edited out portions when Panthro had his nunchucks out. Then, they were looking for heroes and role models for YOUNG kids to aspire up to, so they were up to each lessons the young audience would understand. Today’s version was looking at an older audience in a world where violence was more than acceptable in kids’ shows and… Read more »
