Creature Commandos Gets Official Premiere Date
Creature Commandos premieres Thursday, December 5th exclusively on Max.
Creature Commandos will be coming to your streaming devices just in time for the holiday season. When DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran announced the new lineup of the DC Universe, it may have surprised fans to learn that the very first project wasn't going to be Superman. Instead, that distinction goes to the adult animated series Creature Commandos. Starring a cast of lesser-known DC characters, Creature Commandos is similar to the Suicide Squad as Amanda Waller sends the team of misfits off on missions too dangerous for human beings. Fans can now mark their calendars for the debut date of Creature Commandos.
Creature Commandos makes its debut on Max on Thursday, December 5th, followed by one episode weekly until the finale on January 16th. The official DC account on X (formerly Twitter) also shared the news, alongside a poster featuring the Creature Commandos cast. "On December 5th, everything will be declassified. The new Max Original Series from DC Studios #CreatureCommandos premieres exclusively on @StreamOnMax. More intel soon" the post reads, which you can see below.
