History
When Piggy Tales: Third Act had come to a close with that release of the last episode Final Curtain, the viewers were sad as the season was going to be the final. When the YouTube viewers went on to see the episode, they went into a surprise debate. During the final seconds of the episode which showed the Janitor Pig putting the time bombs, unable to control his cries as the season was ending which then resulted in a blast that broke the theatre's wall and the pigs got up and found that there was a new location to live i.e Pig City.

The viewers then thought that there would be a 4th season. They then started a debate based on the name of the season. In the comments, most of the viewers commented that the name of the season was Piggy Street. While some commented that the no. 4 was included in the title of the season. Most of them, curious about the name went to external pages on the Internet. In CAKE Entertainment's (The company that produced the Piggy Tales: Third Act season and Angry Birds Blues) website that there would be a season called Piggy Tales: 4th Street. Both the sides of viewers were proved to be half correct later too as Rovio then announced that definitely would be a 4th season titled Piggy Tales: 4th Street.
