Production

Development

A few weeks before the second season concluded, Titans was renewed for a third season in November 2019. DC announced that the third season would premiere on DC Universe in the fourth quarter of 2020, with filming scheduled to begin earlier in the year.[7][8] Before the official start of filming, however, the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 forced production to be temporarily shut down. Executive producer Akiva Goldsman stated two months later that filming on the third season had not yet occurred, but would begin "as soon as possible".[9]

During the production delay, DC Chief Creative Officer Jim Lee announced that the series would be moving from DC Universe to HBO Max, which launched in 2020.[10] The third season will be the first to premiere on HBO Max.[11]

Writing

At DC FanDome in August 2020, showrunner Greg Walker announced that the third season would take place in Gotham City and introduce Red Hood, Jonathan Crane, and Barbara Gordon.[12][13] It was later revealed that the season intended to use the San Francisco setting of its predecessor, but filming being pushed into the fall and winter months resulted in the story being moved to Gotham.[14] During the extended FanDome panel in September, Walker hinted at Donna Troy returning for season 3, despite the character's death in the previous season.[15][16]

Casting

Series regulars Brenton Thwaites, Anna Diop, Teagan Croft, Ryan Potter, Curran Walters, Conor Leslie, Chelsea Zhang, Joshua Orpin, Minka Kelly, and Alan Ritchson reprise their roles as Dick Grayson, Kory Anders, Rachel Roth, Gar Logan, Jason Todd, Donna Troy, Rose Wilson, Conner, Dawn Granger, and Hank Hall, alongside Damaris Lewis as Blackfire, who was promoted as a series regular after guest starring in the previous season.[17]

In April 2020, cinematographer Boris Mojsovski revealed that Iain Glen would return as Bruce Wayne for the third season.[1] During the December 2020 filming, Cole King announced on his Instagram that he was cast in an undisclosed role.[4] Savannah Welch was announced as Barbara Gordon in January 2021.[2] Later in the month, Jay Lycurgo was revealed to be playing Tim Drake.[3]

Filming

After being delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, filming began on October 13, 2020, and will conclude on June 10, 2021.[18][19]
