    Set two years after the events of The Suicide Squad (2021) and following the events of the first season of Peacemaker (2022), Amanda Waller is no longer able to put human lives in jeopardy for her clandestine operations as she did with the Suicide Squad and Team Peacemaker. Instead, she assembles a black ops team of monsters called the Creature Commandos led by General Rick Flag Sr.

    Anyone start this yet? (Is there an existing thread?)

    Creature Commandos is an American adult animated television series based on DC Comics featuring the eponymous team. Produced by DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation, it is the first television series in the DC Universe (DCU) and the first installment overall. It focuses on a black ops team of monsters assembled by Amanda Waller. All seven episodes were written by series creator James Gunn, with Dean Lorey as showrunner and Yves "Balak" Bigerel as supervising director.

    Indira Varma, Sean Gunn, Alan Tudyk, Zoë Chao, David Harbour, and Frank Grillo star in the series. After James Gunn and Peter Safran became co-CEOs of DC Studios in October 2022, they announced Creature Commandos in January 2023. Production on the series had begun by then and casting was underway. The cast was announced that April. Animation for the series was provided by Bobbypills.

    Creature Commandos premiered on the streaming service Max on December 5, 2024, with its first two episodes. The other five episodes will be released weekly until January 9, 2025. The series received positive reviews from critics, who praised the performances, animation, and Gunn's storytelling. It is the first entry in the DCU's Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.

    I'm a big fan of Grillo, excellent voice, and hopefully his character will extend into the live-action part of the DCU. anyway. 2 episodes in, and it's fine, so far.
