In a surprising yet welcome move, Max has given the green light for Season 2 of Creature Commandos. The animated series from James Gunn and the DC Universe (DCU) has garnered impressive fan reception. This renewal comes while Season 1 is still premiering, highlighting its immediate success.
Bold Moves for a New Universe
Gunn and Peter Safran, co-chairman of DC Studios, are ecstatic about the continuation. "Teaming up with Max again is thrilling," they shared. Previous shows like Peacemaker and The Penguin have also exceeded expectations. "The support from Max is nothing short of phenomenal," they added, expressing gratitude to their partners Casey, Sarah, Pia, Sono, and the entire team. It’s clear that Max has become home base for DC Studios.
Warner Bros. Animation’s Peter Girardi echoed this excitement. "James’s boundless creativity brought new heroes that fans adore," he noted. There’s an unmistakable buzz for more monstrous adventures. Girardi promised, "More monsters are on the way."
Sneak Peek at a Monster Squad
Creature Commandos, born from Gunn’s creative vision, is the vanguard of the new DC Universe. It’s a groundbreaking project that transforms incarcerated monsters into reluctant heroes. Dubbed "the last, worst option," this team handles missions too perilous for ordinary mortals.
Season 2 hints at even more chaos and engagement with DC’s sprawling narrative. Next in the DCU lineup is Gunn’s Superman, slated for release next year. It’s all hands on deck for a universe being rebuilt from the ground up.
Voice Stars Command the Screen
The series boasts a stellar voice cast. Steve Agee, Maria Bakalova, and Anya Chalotra lend their voices as Economos, Princess Ilana, and Circe, respectively. Other notable names include Zoe Chao as Nina Mazursky and Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr. Sean Gunn takes on GI Robot and Weasel, while David Harbour embodies Frankenstein. Alan Tudyk voices Dr. Phosphorus and Indira Varma plays The Bride. Legendary Viola Davis rounds out the cast as Amanda Waller.
The show comes to life through the efforts of DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation. Safran, Dean Lorey, and Sam Register work as executive producers, alongside Gunn. Rick Morales also lends his expertise as a supervising producer.
With its imaginative storytelling and riveting character arcs, Creature Commandos is making waves. As anticipation builds, one thing is certain: the monstrous saga is just beginning.
