Season 8 is coming in March!

As revealed by the latest Discovery Family press release, the S8 premiere will be shown on 24th March. I know the various leaks have meant that many people will already have seen (incomplete) episodes, but I have stayed away from those. I hope not too many people online will be jerks and spoil the rest of us. We'll see, I suppose.

I do know a few things, and if you read the DF release (as reproduced on this EqD page) you'll discover quite a lot more. In fact, I'd recommend against looking at it if you're trying to avoid spoilers, as among other things it mentions new and returning characters, the premiere's synopsis and some of the locations that we'll be visiting.

One non-spoilery piece of information is that there will be seven songs this season. As was promised, that's an increase on last season's five – but it's still well down on previous seasons, though if you ignore their musical episodes the number is reasonably comparable. Let's hope they're good songs, anyway. Roll on March!

    1. Well, yeah. It'll be a while before we know that, though, at least those of us who haven't seen the leaked stuff. I still remember your feelings about S7 when that started, and look how that season turned out. :)

    2. Admittedly, S7's premiere was crap, and I'm holding out the tiniest bit of hope that this will stay true.

      But everything I'm hearing about what's coming is swiftly eroding the good graces S7 built up in me. D:

    1. It could do another S5. To me, that's the best season the show's had to date. S7 was very enjoyable, though, so if S8 matches that I will be pleased.

  3. Looking forward to it eagerly! I've heard just a few spoilers, but they all seem like positive things.

    1. I've read that press release, and I saw the accidentally-released-by-Hasbro clip (which is pretty spoilery in itself). I don't know much beyond that, though. Nervouscitement building!
