AceShowbiz - The world of DC Comics is set to unleash even more monstrous chaos as the popular adult animated series "Creature Commandos" gets a renewal for a second season on Max.

Following its acclaimed debut on December 5, "Creature Commandos" quickly captivated viewers with its fresh and irreverent take on DC's universe. The show features a secret team of incarcerated monsters recruited for missions deemed too dangerous for humans.

It's a wild ride crafted by none other than James Gunn, co-chairman of DC Studios, who also serves as the show's writer and executive producer. Its record-breaking launch is particularly noteworthy as it marks the first official entry in the newly envisioned DC Universe by Gunn and fellow co-chief Peter Safran.

In this thrilling series, fan-favorite characters like Amanda Waller (portrayed by Viola Davis) return, joined by an ensemble voice cast that includes Steve Agee, Maria Bakalova, Anya Chalotra, Zoe Chao, Frank Grillo, Sean Gunn, David Harbour, Alan Tudyk, and Indira Varma.

"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," said Amy Gravitt, EVP, HBO & Max Comedy Programming.

Strong reception from fans and critics alike solidified the series' success, including praise from Variety's Alison Herman, who lauded it as "playful and irreverent."

Echoing this sentiment, Peter Girardi, executive VP of Warner Bros Animation, commented, "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."

The collaborative effort between DC Studios and Warner Bros Animation underlines the quality and creativity driving the series.

Gunn himself remains deeply enthusiastic about the project, describing his involvement with "Creature Commandos" as a delight. "Every time I dealt with Creature Commandos, it was like Christmas for me," he stated. Such passion hints at exciting developments for the future. As Gunn takes on the massive undertaking of directing an upcoming "Superman" film, fans can rest assured he's also ensuring the creative trajectory of "Creature Commandos".

With the Season 1 finale set to air on January 9, fans can look forward to more monster mayhem in the next chapter. As Amy Gravitt aptly put it, "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."
