The first DCU show is coming sooner than we think – and we're so ready.

According to a Warner Bros. panel at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, Creature Commandos is set to premiere December 2024 on Max. 

The seven-episode animated series, based on the characters created by J. M. DeMatteis and Pat Broderick, sees Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) create a black ops team of monstrous prisoners. The team of military superhumans is comprised of a vampire, a werewolf, and a gorgon, along with a human leader. 

"It was written and ready to go," Gunn previously told ScreenRant of the decision to put Creature Commandos out first. "We thought it worked well as an aperitif before the meal of Superman."
