Creature Commandos kicks off James Gunn and Peter Safran's new DCU as the soft reboot of the cinematic universe begins. The animated show follows a ragtag group of monsters assembled by Amanda Waller. Set following the events of Peacemaker (one of the few remaining projects carried forward to the new DCU), the series sees Waller decide to no longer put human lives in danger for her clandestine operations.
Her new black ops team is led by General Rick Flag Sr. and features the likes of Circe, Weasel, Eric Frankenstein, the Bride, and Clayface. An impressive voice cast joins the project too, including Viola Davis back as Waller, Maria Bakalova, Anya Chalotra, Frank Grillo, Alan Tudyk, and David Harbour. Given its importance as the first DCU project proper, it's going to be appointment viewing. Here's how you can stream it.

In total there are seven episodes of Creature Commandos. These are airing weekly on Max on Thursdays. Each episode is between 20 and 30 minutes long.
Where can I watch Creature Commandos in the UK?
Currently, you can't watch Creature Commandos in the UK. Unlike shows like Dune: Prophecy and The Penguin, the series will not be available immediately on NOW and Sky TV. However, if we were to guess, this is likely where the show will end up.
Peacemaker was released on these platforms about about two months after it started airing in the UK. So our best bet at the moment is around February 2025.
