DC’s 'Creature Commandos' Officially Renewed for Season 2

The beloved "Creature Commandos" is set to return for a second season! The animated series, which streams on Max and is penned and executive produced by DC Studios' co-chief James Gunn, has officially received a renewal. This exciting news follows the show’s premiere on December 5, where it quickly captivated audiences and garnered widespread acclaim.

The "Creature Commandos" portrays a unique storyline involving a ragtag team of incarcerated monsters conscripted to join a clandestine black ops unit. This marks the inaugural entry into the revamped DC Universe masterminded by Gunn along with co-chief Peter Safran. Variety's Alison Herman praised the series, noting it possesses a playfulness and irreverence that stands in stark contrast to other more traditional franchises weighed down by narrative obligations.

HBO & Max's comedy programming head, Amy Gravitt, expressed her excitement over the renewal, highlighting the wild charm of these misfit characters. “Only James Gunn could have conjured this wild band of misfit monsters who tug at your heart,” she remarked.

Featuring an impressive voice cast that includes Indira Varma as The Bride, Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., David Harbour as Frankenstein, and many more, "Creature Commandos" has created a robust and diverse ensemble that audiences can’t help but root for.

Gunn and Safran expressed their thrill in collaborating with Max for another season, mentioning the impressive track record of successful DC projects on the platform, including the celebrated "Peacemaker" and the impactful "The Penguin."

Produced by Warner Bros. Animation in partnership with DC Studios, the show's executive production team includes Safran, Dean Lorey, and Sam Register, while Rick Morales serves as supervising producer. Warner Bros. Animation executive Peter Girardi shared his enthusiasm, stating, “Thanks to the brilliant imagination of James and the talent of our amazing artists, DC fans fell in love with this new family of heroes. You want more monsters, you’re getting more monsters!”

As fans eagerly await the next installment, the show's return promises even more wild adventures and character development, making it a must-watch for DC enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Stay tuned for updates on what’s in store for these fantastical creatures!
