Creature Commandos season 2 is on its way, and good news, DC are making it a priority. The first show in James Gunn's DCU got a swift renewal as its first season came to an end after becoming an instant hit with fans and critics. The R-rated take on the group of comic book antiheroes saw Amanda Waller task Rick Flag Sr. with leading a team of super-monsters to carry out a dangerous black ops mission. Among them was the Bride (of Frankenstein), an anthropomorphic weasel, a radioactive man in a lab coat, a robot, and an amphibious doctor. Dream team, honestly.
Work on season 2 has begun with writing officially underway on the sophomore outing. One writer has even suggested that DC are fast tracking the show's return so it can arrive on Max sooner. For more on that, as well as everything else that has been revealed about Creature Commandos season 2 so far, you're in the right place.
Creature Commandos season 2 release date speculation
Creature Commandos episode 1 hit Max on December 4 after being announced some 11 months prior in January 2023. Season 2 was announced on December 23, 2024. Given how long it takes to develop an animated series (we're looking at you, Invincible), we might be looking at two to three years before season 2 arrives.
However, writing has already started on the show and in February 2025, writer Dean Lorey said DC has fast-tracked them. "It's still early days, but we are actively working on breaking the season and starting to figure that out. So it's definitely moving forward," he told The Direct. "They put it on a fast track, and they seem to mean it. So, yeah, we're in it."
Looking at the list of announced projects for the first phase of Gunn and Safran's DCU, which is aptly titled "DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters." Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and the Lanterns TV series are slated for a 2026 release, it means we could be looking at 2027 for Creature Commandos season 2.
Creature Commandos season 2 plot speculation
The first season ends with the Bride being put in charge of a new team of monsters, one being King Shark (who you might remember from The Suicide Squad). The rest of the team includes Doctor Phosphorous, Weasel, and two new monsters. It's likely that the team will be tasked with a new mission, this time with the Bride in charge instead of Rick Flag Sr. Rick is set to appear in both Superman and Peacemaker season 2, and has not yet found out that Amanda Waller is the one who order Peacemaker to kill Rick Flag Jr. It's possible that this will carry over into Creature Commandos season 2, but only time will tell.
When asked what he'd like to see in season 2, star Frank Grillo told 12DOVE that he'd "love to see how it evolves". He continued: "I'd like to see how they develop as a team because it takes the whole season for them to be a symbiotic kinda group and just see where it goes. Because it starts with me meeting them and kind of going like, what am I doing? What are these things? And then we become a family."
Creature Commandos season 2 cast speculation
There were quite a few deaths in Creature Commandos season 1, though the final moments of the show give us a pretty good idea of which characters will be returning. Two deaths are up in the air: Clayface, who is famously hard to kill, and Eric Frankenstein, who is sort of already dead. We also see a new, built-up version of GI Robot in the finale, despite his death earlier on in the season. And so, we've compiled who will likely return for season 2 below.
- Indira Varma as the Bride
- Sean Gunn as GI Robot and Weasel
- Alan Tudyk as Doctor Phosphorus
- Viola Davis as Amanda Waller
- Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr.
- Anya Calotra as Circe
- Steve Agee as John Economos
- Linda Cardellini as Elizabeth Bates, Weasel's lawyer
