DC Studios’ adult animated series “Creature Commandos” has secured a second season on Max. The show, penned and executive produced by DC Studios Co-Chair James Gunn, will continue its weekly Thursday release schedule, with the first season finale set to air on January 9.
“Creature Commandos” follows a covert team of imprisoned monsters tasked with undertaking perilous missions deemed too dangerous for human operatives. The series has garnered positive reviews, with critics praising its blend of humor, emotion, and memorable characters.
Amy Gravitt, Executive Vice President of HBO & Max Comedy Programming, expressed enthusiasm for the renewal, highlighting Gunn’s unique ability to create compelling misfit characters. James Gunn and Peter Safran, Co-Chairs of DC Studios, acknowledged Max’s consistent support and the show’s successful launch.
The voice cast for the first season includes Steve Agee, Maria Bakalova, Anya Chalotra, and Viola Davis as Amanda Waller. The series is a collaborative effort between DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation, with additional executive producers Peter Safran, Dean Lorey, and Sam Register.
As “Creature Commandos” prepares for its sophomore season, it joins other DC properties like “Peacemaker” and “The Penguin” in expanding the DC universe on Max, signaling the streaming platform’s continued investment in comic book adaptations.
