Jason Momoa’s Apple TV+ series See did not return for a fourth season because his involvement in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the final installment of Zack Snyder’s DCEU saga, took precedence. The disappointment surrounding season 4’s absence is tied directly to Momoa’s demanding franchise schedule and the show reaching its natural endpoint.
The 15th and concluding film of the ambitious DC Extended Universe performed poorly at the box office and received a lukewarm 5.6 IMDb rating, which compounded the challenges of renewing See. Momoa recently explained that balancing the responsibilities of Aquaman’s production with See’s creative conclusion influenced the decision not to continue the dystopian drama.
How See’s Three Seasons Established Itself as One of Apple TV+’s Standouts
Over three seasons, See earned a loyal fanbase with its visually striking portrayal of a post-apocalyptic world rich in tribal culture and complex characters. Jason Momoa’s portrayal of Baba Voss brought emotional depth and intensity to the series, anchoring its storytelling and resonating strongly with audiences.
Momoa described the show as a heartfelt project and felt the three seasons provided the ideal narrative arc. In a Collider interview, he expressed:
I think about a little bit of both. I think three seasons is pretty perfect. I mean, just depending on the show, but I feel like this was the perfect time to kind of wrap it all up.
He emphasized that the storyline seemed to have reached a natural ending, and the timing coincided with his need to concentrate on Aquaman, balancing the integrity of See’s story with the demands of his blockbuster commitments.
Studio Decisions and Scheduling Conflicts Halted See’s Renewal Plans
Since See premiered on Apple TV+ in 2019, it consistently drew strong viewership, prompting plans for further seasons. Momoa’s shooting schedule was intense, as he filmed seasons 2 and 3 consecutively and was reportedly prepared to proceed with season 4. However, new directives from DC shifted his focus entirely towards Aquaman.
Under Warner Bros’ evolving strategy and the restructuring of the DC Universe, Momoa’s role in See became untenable, forcing the series to end prematurely despite creativity and enthusiasm from its team. The studio’s financial and strategic decisions ultimately overshadowed audience expectations and the show’s momentum.
The production environment illustrates how business priorities in major franchises can override popular demand, even when a series has established a passionate following. As Momoa dedicates himself to the Aquaman character in the rebooted DC universe, See’s future remains uncertain.
Currently, viewers can stream all three seasons of See on Apple TV+ in the United States. Whether a future reboot or revival will bring the series back is an open question, but for now, Jason Momoa’s commitment to Aquaman marks a defining shift in his career path.
