Creature Commandos is the first installment of the new DC Universe created by Gunn (who wrote all seven episodes) and Safran. The series tracks a secret team of incarcerated monsters recruited for missions deemed too dangerous for humans. “When all else fails… they’re your last, worst option,” describes the logline.

“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,” says HBO and Max Comedy Programming VP Amy Gravitt. “We couldn’t be more delighted to continue their stories with James, [showeunner] Dean Lorey, Peter Safran and our fantastic partners at DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation.”

Details on whats in store for Season 2 are yet to come, as well as who from the voice cast will be returning. The Season 1 cast includes Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Sean Gunn as GI Robot and Weasel, David Harbour as Frankenstein, Alan Tudyk as Dr. Phosphorus, Indira Varma as The Bride, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Steve Agee as Economos, Maria Bakalova as Princess Ilana, Anya Chalotra as Circe and Zoe Chao as Nina Mazursky.
