‘Mister Miracle’ Series in Production at DC Studios
A new adult animated series from DC Studios is coming soon in the form of Mister Miracle.
DC Studios continues its commitment to adult animated series with Mister Miracle. The series was greenlit at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, with the first key art released featuring the titular character and his wife, Big Barda. Tom King is set to be the showrunner for the series, which is described as a “harrowing, hilarious, heart-wrenching journey across the pitfalls of the ordinary and extraordinary as the son of God raised by the devil tries to save his family, his world, and maybe even himself.”
While there are three characters who have taken up the mantle, the series will follow the New God Scott Free’s version of the character. Scott Free’s Mister Miracle was created by Jack Kirby and first appears in Mister Miracle #1 which launched in April 1971.
In the comics, Scott’s biological father, Highfather, exchanges him with Darkseid’s heir, Orion which could point to Orion also making an appearance in the series.
Read the official synopsis below:
The new series follows Scott Free, the world’s greatest escape artist, known to the world as Mister Miracle, whose perfect life with his warrior wife Big Barda falls apart when their two home worlds — Apocalypse and New Genesis — go to war and Scott’s cruel adoptive father Darkseid appears to have captured the ultimate weapon, the Anti-Life Equation, that will give him total dominance over the universe.
As the mountains of bodies on both sides grow ever higher, only Mister Miracle can stop the slaughter and restore peace. But the terrible power of the Anti-Life Equation may already be at work in his own mind, warping his reality, exposing his long-buried pain, and shattering the fragile happiness he’s found with the woman he loves.
Titmouse will be animating the series. Their previous credits include Pantheon, Love, Death & Robots, The Legend of Vox Machina, and more. They’ve also lent their expertise to various other high-profile projects.
Mister Miracle is created by Tom King and is currently in production for DC Studios. Thanks for reading our article on the Mister Miracle announcement. If you enjoyed it, consider checking out the rest of our DC coverage and News section.
