Meanwhile, a power struggle brews on the opposite side of the war afterLotors (A.J.
Locascio) father Zarkon (Neil Kaplan) awakens from his coma.

This whole time Lotor is forwarding his plans.
The trailer teases these Voltron events.
Now we really get to see a lot more of that.
Its been really fun to handle in the show.DOS SANTOS:Its that evolution.
Its that growing nature of the series, which I think were lucky to take a part of.
The fact that its serialized, were able to sort of see this thing evolve.
Shiro returned at the end of season 3, but hes no longer manning the Black Lion.
We know Voltron is going to be there.
How is Shiro handling being on the sidelines?MONTGOMERY:I think hes working through it.
How do they deal with this situation?MONTGOMERY:For sure.
Whats going on there?DOS SANTOS:I think that is the tease.
Well just let that one hang out there.
Thats as close as well get to teasing it.
She struggled with it at first, but she is probably the closest to these ships as anyone is.
Shes flown the captain ship all her life and her father was a paladin.
I think a lot of what she has to bring to the team still remains to be seen.
Season 3 ended with Zarkon waking up.
What does that mean for Lotor and his plans for the universe?MONTGOMERY:Who knows?
He might go right back to sleep.
Hes on a staycation.MONTGOMERY:I would.
It is a really unique position to be in.
What kind of tension does that bring?
Its an interesting duality thats happening on both sides.
As things started to take shape in the season, I think this interesting dynamic worked its way in.
I think that sort of lends itself to interesting story lines.
The trailer hints that the paladins are in a pretty good place when the season starts.
They can certainly get along.
Its not about your own personal feelings about something.
Its about the bigger picture.
