X-MEN EVOLUTION: POWERS REVEALED DVD
NO SEASON 5 FOR X-MEN: EVOLUTION? According to Comics Continuum...
UNAIRED EPISODES OF SEASON 3 NOW PART OF SEASON 4 Kids WB is not promoting X23, one of the last unaired episodes from season 3, as season premiere. This only means that the other three episodes will now be treated as part of season 4. X-MEN: EVOLUTION UPDATE Boyd Kirkland, producer of the X-Men: Evolution animated series, told The Continuum that pre-production on the fourth season is "progressing rapidly." "We have recorded all nine shows, and are currently storyboarding the two-part finale," Kirkland told The Continuum on Monday from his Film Roman office. "Several of the shows are overseas in animation, and we should be getting footage back the end of July.
Four episodes remain from Season 3. It was originally believed that Kids' WB! would broadcast them in conjunction with the release of X2, but the remaining episodes currently are not scheduled. "I've heard rumors that the final four episodes of this season will be held until next fall, but nothing definite. The network isn't talking one way or the other," Kirkland said. "I understand that some of them have aired overseas already, however." EVOLUTION ON CARTOON NETWORK Beginning on April 5, the show will air on Cartoon Networks on Saturdays at 9 p.m. (ET/PT) and 10:30 p.m. and on Sundays-Thursdays at 10:30 p.m. (ET/PT). Four new episodes from X-Men: Evolution's third season are expected to air in May on Kids' WB!. The show has been picked up for a fourth season of nine episodes. No More X-Men Evolution until May Kids' WB! has put X-Men: Evolution on hiatus following the Jan. 18 episode. The series has not been canceled, a network representative told The Continuum, and will likely return with the final four episodes of the third season in May, which would coincide with the release of the X-Men movie sequel. The network has not announced if there will be a fourth season of the show yet. X-Men Evolution Panel X-Men Evolution on DVD According to Comics Continuum: The DVD, from Warner Home Video, follows two VHS tapes with episodes from the first season. The DVD, however, will feature the first five episodes from the second season of the Kids' WB! animated series. Those episodes are "Growing Pains (originally aired Sept. 29, 2001), "Bada-Bing Bada-Boom!" (originally aired Oct. 6, 2001), "Power Surge" (originally aired Oct. 13, 2002); "Fun and Games" (originally aired Oct. 20, 2001), and "Beast of Bayville" (originally aired Oct. 27, 2001). Three of the episodes on the DVD - "Growing Pains," "Bada-Bing, Bada-Boom!" and "Power Surge" - will be in their first-cut versions. After the events of Sept. 11, those three episodes of X-Men: Evolution were edited for content. "The network - with good reason - wanted to be mindful of what was being
shown to a young audience," Kyle said. "Now, you can see the episodes
as they were originally intended." X-Men Episode Guide | X-Men Page

X-Men:
Evolution won't be returning for a fifth season on Kids' WB!, a source told
The Continuum. 
"We've
got some really interesting stories, with pretty shocking developments for
several of our key characters. Guest villains will include Omega Red, as well as
more of Apocalypse. One episode focuses on the Brotherhood, and another focuses
on Gambit. It's some really exciting stuff!"
