Filmmaker and DC Studos co-head James Gunn is definitely ending the year on a strong note with both the successful launch of the Creature Commandos animated series and the immense positive reaction to the Superman trailer. Looks like Gunn has even more reason to celebrate as it’s been announced that Creature Commandos has been renewed for a second season.
Amy Gravitt, Executive Vice President, HBO & Max Comedy Programming said in a statement:
“Only James Gunn could have conjured this wild band of misfit monsters who tug at your heart and force you to root passionately for them. We couldn’t be more delighted to continue their stories with James, Dean Lorey, Peter Safran and our fantastic partners at DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation.”
James Gunn and Peter Safran, Co-Chairs, DC Studios added:
“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.”
Peter Girardi, Executive Vice President, Alternative Programming, Warner Bros. Animation echoed the previous statements saying:
“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. We are excited to continue this wild ride with our partners at Max. You want more monsters, you’re getting more monsters!”
As showrunner Dean Lorey teased in our press junket interview, the season one finale will tease what viewers can expect in the second season including potential new characters.
New episodes debut weekly every Thursday on Max, with the season one finale dropping January 9.
