‘Creature Commandos’ Renewed For Season 2 At Max
The first DCU project will return for more, following the airing of its first season through January 9th, 2025.
In a surprising move, James Gunn took to social media to reveal the renewal of DC Studios’ and Max’s Creature Commandos, an animated series set within the world of the DC Universe. Read more about Creature Commandos season 2 below.
Creature Commandos follows a group of inmates turned government soldiers, operating as part of an expendable task force that serves as a successor to the Suicide Squad. Led by General Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo), and consisting of The Bride (Indira Varma), Nina Mazursky (Zoe Chao), Doctor Phosphorus (Alan Tudyk), G.I. Robot (Sean Gunn) and Weasel (also Gunn), the first season follows the team as they’re tasked with protecting (and later assassinating) the Princess Ilana Rostovic (Maria Bakalova) of Pokolistan. The logline of season 1 reads as follows:
Creature Commandos tracks a secret team of incarcerated monsters recruited for missions deemed too dangerous for humans. When all else fails… they’re your last, worst option.
As part of the announcement, DC Studios co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran spoke of the second season’s renewal in a press release:
“We’re thrilled to team up with Max for another season of Creature Commandos mayhem. From our spectacular first season of Peacemaker to the astonishing run of The Penguin to the record-breaking launch of Creature Commandos, Max has consistently delivered above industry expectations and beyond our wildest imaginings. Thank you, Casey, Sarah, Pia, Sono and the entire team for your tremendous support of DC Studios. We are proud to call Max home.”
When Will ‘Creature Commandos’ Season 2 Enter Production?
It is currently unknown when Creature Commandos season 2 will enter production, as James Gunn is currently “pre-writing” another secret DC project. It is likely that James will return to write the second season of Creature Commandos, with him previously writing the first season of the show.
Three episodes remain of Creature Commandos season 1, with episode five scheduled to be released on December 26th, 2024. Episodes six and seven will follow, through January 9th.
Creature Commandos was created by James Gunn and showrunner Dean Lorey. In addition to the main team, the show also stars Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, David Harbour as Eric Frankenstein, Anya Chalotra as Circe, Alan Tudyk as Clayface, and many more. Episodes are released weekly on Thursdays at 12AM PT / 3AM ET.
