The animated corner of James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters isn’t slowing down. During the World’s Finest panel at Annecy, showrunner Dean Lorey and DC Studios co-chair James Gunn have officially unveiled first-look details and artwork for Creature Commandos Season 2.
Slated to premiere in 2027—strategically arriving shortly after the theatrical debut of next summer’s Man of Tomorrow—the sophomore outing of Task Force M promises a significantly larger, weirder scale that blows the doors off the established status quo.
Season 2 will continue to follow the core team of monstrous metahumans originally assembled by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) and John Economos (Steve Agee). The first-look assets confirm the survival and return of the central Task Force M mainstays:
- David Harbour’s Eric Frankenstein and Indira Varma’s The Bride continuing their complicated domestic dynamic, with the latter leading the squad.
- Alan Tudyk’s combustible Dr. Phosphorus, Sean Gunn’s Weasel, and the rebuilt military-bot G.I. Robot will also return.
“He’s got a really strong and emotional character arc this season,” producer Rick Morales said of G.I. Robot. “[Gunn] cares a lot and has really great insights. We sent him a dozen looks and keyed in on these rounder, bigger shapes.”
As teased in the Season 1 finale, King Shark, the mummy Khalis and vampire Nosfersta, reportedly voiced by Alien:Earth‘s Sydney Chandler, will join Task Force M in the new batch of episodes.
