Hasbro-Discovery Hub Television Network has revealed their 2013 – 2014 Program Slate and sadly… there is NO new G. I. Joe related programming.
Previously, we were told that G. I. Joe: Renegades is on hiatus and it might pick up where G. I. Joe: Retaliation will leave off. However, when the Hub 2012- ’13 slate was revealed, fans were disappointed that there weren’t any evidence to prove this (mind you, Retaliation was suppose to release June 29 last year).
Further cementing the fact that G. I. Joe: Renegades is never coming back, Hub 2013- ’14 plans revealed nothing G. I. Joe. Most of the Hasbro’s popular franchises are making a return or making new entrances but the same cannot be said about one of Hasbro’s oldest franchises; G. I. Joe.
What will the future hold for the G. I. Joe franchise on television? Would the popularity of G. I. Joe: Retaliation trigger a need for a new Animated Series? Is G. I.
