Development Alert: Ben 10 Omniverse Had A 9th And 10th Season In Development, Lucky Girl Prequel Series Cancelled

Ben 10: Omniverse unfinished seasons

Ben 10: Omniverse which was the last series right now in the original continuity of Ben 10 was also the biggest series when it comes to seasons and episodes length. Ben 10: Omniverse went on for an eighth season run consisting of 80 episodes as opposed to the original Ben 10 with a fourth season run.

It had the biggest runtime in any Ben 10 series except now since the reboot surpassed it having 166 episodes which can be divided into 83 episodes.

Initially, Ben 10: Omniverse wasn't meant to be that long of a series, when it was first picked up it was only meant to have a 2 season run. But due to the success of the series it was renewed for an additional two seasons and this would carry on till it's last.

Despite it only running for eight seasons, the late Derek J. Wyatt one of the people who worked on the series it was actually suppose to run for another two seasons. If the series wasn't cancelled they would have brought the negative ten in the scrapped seasons and travel to space.

Similar to The Ghost And Molly McGee, this ended up being the season finale to Ben 10: Omniverse as the show was cancelled due to low ratings. They had also planned to bring the villains from the original Ben 10 such as Charm Caster, Vilgax, Dr. Maniac and others.

Ben 10 spinoff

Through an Q&A on X, Duncan Road one of creators of Ben 10 through Man Of Action had revealed that a spinoff based on Gwen Tennyson's persona Lucky Girl had been pitched but hadn't reached the development phase. Prior to this, they were rumours of a Kevin 11 spinoff series which hadn't got picked up by Cartoon Network.

Lucky Girl would have helped attract a wider female audience to Ben 10 since the franchise is male dominant.

Monster House (GBA)

The game picks up from the part of the film where D.J., Chowder and Jenny escape out of a police car, only to be eaten by the house. The three are separated, and while looking for each other, are attacked by enemies constructed out of the building's interior architecture.

Obstacles include pipes that can block doors or pathways to keep the player on track, tentacle-like pipes that can harm the player, trees that can try to grab the player, objects that can fly at the player, spotlights from windows that can awaken monsters to attack the player if they're caught, and giant pipe monsters that can suck up the player.
