Why Wander Over Yonder Deserved a Season 3 (and why i’m still not over it)

Hey there, it’s liv (or Livara if you know me here 💫)

I’ve been rewatching wander over yonder lately (aka crying and screaming into the void) and i just keep thinking about how much this show deserved a season 3.

Like… I know to some people it was “just a silly Disney XD cartoon,” but it honestly wasn’t. Yeah, it was loud and colorful and goofy, but underneath all that, it had heart.

Especially in season 2 — they went in a completely different direction. Real arcs were happening. Hater was slowly changing, even if he didn't know it. Dominator was introduced and immediately felt like an unstoppable force. Wander started to lose his shine a little… it wasn’t just random episodes anymore. It was building toward something bigger. Hater’s internal conflict??? peepers literally trying to hold everything together while watching his boss catch feelings?? wander desperately trying to stay optimistic while everything was falling apart?? Like, be serious. There was actual character development. And it was SO close to becoming something really powerful.

And then disney just… cancelled it. right when it was all coming together.

The worst part is that craig mccracken and the crew had season 3 fully planned out. It wasn’t just vibes — they had ideas, structure, character arcs, endings. They were setting it up right in front of us. We were gonna see Hater actually change. Dominator challenged. Wander's hope was pushed to its limits. It was right there, and we never got to see it happen. I really think season 3 could’ve given us one of the best cartoon arcs of that whole era. The show was already so underrated, and it had such a good message too.

Wander Over Yonder wasn’t just “good vs. evil,” it was about trying to believe in people, even when it’s hard. even when they don’t believe in themselves. about choosing kindness even when it’s not easy. And the fact that the fandom is still alive after all these years?? people still drawing art, making AUs, talking about what Season 3 could’ve been, that means something. It shows how much this show impacted people. It left something behind.

We may not have gotten the ending we wanted, but the fact that fans are still holding onto it years later says a lot.

Bring back woy.

WOY Trending 27th - December 2025

For those of you who are current fans or fans who recently joined the community, here are a few things that we know of as of currently.

We saw a few hints from the originally planned third season. The Star Nomad Ship and the screeching simian from The Waste of Time. There was also the downed spacecraft engulfed in lightning as we saw in the end animatic of "The End of the Galaxy." And the new threat was a team of space cops known as "The Star Force Enforcement Force" (credit goes to CJ Signorino aka @signor-signor)

@crackmccraigen left us with a handful of incredible hints for WOY's third season. We know that there's supposed to be more than what we know so far. We have to keep reminding Disney and the higher-ups that we're interested in seeing the epic conclusion!

Trending 27th: Favorite WOY song of season 2

This was really hard but I chose I’m the Bad Guy (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ I loved Dominator from the moment she was introduced, even before it was revealed she was actually this edgy, goth teenager :p  I really wish the series kept going, and we could’ve seen more of Dominator. Maybe, just maybe, if we try hard enough... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #we’renotdonewandering

Why Wander Was Such a Great Protagonist (and Why Lord Dominator Was the Perfect Antagonist)

By Livara

Okay so I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. Like, Wander over Yonder was already a super fun show on its own — funny, colorful, wild space chaos — but when you actually look at the characters, especially Wander and Lord Dominator, it goes way deeper than you’d expect from a cartoon with banana aliens and noodle limbs.

Let’s talk about Wander first.

At first, you think he’s just the “silly happy guy.” Always smiling, always playing his banjo, always trying to help. But the more you watch, the more you realize he’s choosing to be that way. Like, it’s not that he doesn’t see the bad stuff — he does. He just keeps choosing hope, even when it hurts. And that’s kind of powerful? Wander never gives up on people. Even the villains. Even when it’s totally hopeless. And yeah, sometimes that’s frustrating, but that’s what makes him him. It’s actually kind of heartbreaking in season 2, when his usual “kindness fixes everything” vibe starts to fall apart. He gets scared. He gets frustrated. But he still keeps trying. That’s what makes him a great protagonist. He’s not just “the good guy,” he’s a believer. He really believes people can be better. Even when it doesn’t work.

And then there’s Lord Dominator.

She’s like the complete opposite of Wander — and that’s exactly why she works so well as a villain. She’s cold, powerful, funny in a messed-up way, and she doesn’t want to change. Like, not even a little. Other villains like Hater had soft spots or goofy sides. Dominator? Nope. She knows she’s the bad guy, and she likes it. And that makes her scarier. What makes her such a good antagonist is that she actually breaks the rules of the show. Wander’s whole thing is kindness and helping people, and suddenly here’s this villain who can’t be helped, doesn’t want to be saved, and laughs at the idea of hope. Like?? How is Wander supposed to deal with that??? You literally see him start to fall apart emotionally because of it. She didn’t even take Wander’s offer on his kindness and having a fresh start. She just stormed off into the galaxy but she knows she can’t be redeemed and she didn’t want to choose that for herself. Like I said before, she knows she’s the bad guy.

Their dynamic is honestly amazing. It’s not about fighting with powers — it’s about two completely different worldviews crashing into each other. Wander wants to believe people can change. Dominator doesn’t want to. At all. That clash is what made season 2 hit so hard.

I really think that’s what made the show special. It wasn’t just goofy space stuff. It was showing how hard it is to stay kind in a world that feels hopeless sometimes — and how brave that kindness really is. Wander wasn’t strong because he fought. He was strong because he cared. And Dominator tested that more than anyone else.

What makes Wander and Dominator work so well is how perfectly they reflect opposite sides of the same idea — hope vs. destruction, empathy vs. ego. Wander wanted to save everyone, even if it broke him. Dominator didn’t want to be saved at all. And watching that tension play out made Season 2 so powerful. That’s why it hurts so much that we never got Season 3. We were so close to real character growth — to seeing Wander pushed to his emotional limit and maybe seeing if Dominator could ever crack. The potential was there. And it would’ve been amazing to see how far these characters could’ve gone if they were given the chance. We deserved that ending.

So yeah. That’s why Wander is such a great protagonist, and Dominator is one of the coolest villains in any cartoon I’ve ever watched. Period.
