The original intended season finale, "A Certain Doom", was delayed due to post-production delays.[1][2] "A Certain Doom" eventually aired on October 4, 2020,[3] along with the confirmation that the tenth season would include an extra six episodes, which aired from February 28 to April 4, 2021.[4] The episode received positive reviews from critics.
