James Gunn’s Creature Commandos is getting a Season 2 renewal at Max, bringing extra monster insanity to DC Studios.
James Gunn and Peter Safran are seemingly doing the Monster Mash right this moment after listening to that the primary installment of DC’s Gods and Monsters arc, Creature Commandos, is getting a Season 2 renewal at Max. Between critics flapping their arms for The Penguin, Creature Commandos being a success, and the brand new Superman trailer breaking information on-line, a renewed power flows by DC Studios, making the longer term so brilliant we’ll must put on shades.
Creature Commandos finds Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) forming a brand new group to do her soiled work. Code-named Job Power M, the misfit group of monsters accepts jobs deemed too dangerous for many people. Creature Commandos boasts excellent voice performances, with standouts Frank Grillo, Indira Varma, Maria Bakalova, and Zoe Chao. Every group member is greater than what they seem, with Gunn taking a “villains aren’t born, they’re made” strategy to the squad.
“We’re thrilled to team up with Max for another season of Creature Commandos mayhem,” Gunn and DC Studios co-chairman Peter Safran stated in an announcement. “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.”
Amy Gravitt, VP of HBO and Max comedy programming added, “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.”
In my Creature Commandos evaluation, I wrote, “If there’s one thing James Gunn is incredibly good at, it’s mixing action, comedy, and drama into a compelling narrative with characters that present depth and complexity. He’s a filmmaker who excels at changing the mood on a dime. One moment, you’re gasping at the absurdity of his taste for hyper-violence, and the next, he’s hitting you with an emotional story beat that reduces you to near-tears. Despite a pacing issue or two at the start, Creature Commandos steadily evolves into an exciting first chapter of what I assume are great things to come.”
Are you enthusiastic about Creature Commandos getting a Season 2 renewal? I can’t anticipate you all to see the sequence’ remaining episodes. It’s a hell of a trip and a incredible approach for DC Studios to start out a brand new period.
