DC Studios Reveals New Animated Show After Creature Commandos’ Success

Mister Miracle is getting his own adult animated series from DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation.

The new series, which has not yet been confirmed to take place in the DC Universe, was unveiled today at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival and Market by Warner Bros. Mister Miracle will be based on the acclaimed 12-issue comic book series of the same name by Tom King and Mitch Gerads, with King serving as showrunner and executive producer.

No network is attached yet. DC’s previous adult animated series — Harley Quinn and Creature Commandos — are both at Max (soon to be renamed HBO Max). Mister Miracle is currently in production alongside the second season of Creature Commandos.

A first look at Mister Miracle was also shared and can be viewed below:

What do we know about Mister Miracle?

Per the official series description, “No prison can hold him. No trap can contain him. He is Scott Free, the worldwide celebrity sensation known as Mister Miracle, and he is the greatest escape artist who ever lived. But can he pull off the ultimate trick — and escape death itself?

“Something has gone horribly wrong with the perfect life that Scott and his warrior wife Big Barda have built for themselves on Earth. With war raging between their home worlds of Apocalypse and New Genesis, Scott’s cruel adoptive father Darkseid seems to have finally captured the Anti-Life Equation — the ultimate weapon that will give Darkseid total dominance over the universe.

“As the mountains of bodies on both sides grow ever higher, only Mister Miracle can stop the slaughter and restore peace. But the terrible power of the Anti-Life Equation may already be at work in his own mind, warping his reality, exposing his long-buried pain, and shattering the fragile happiness he’s found with the woman he loves.

“And so begins the odyssey of Scott Free, Mister Miracle: a harrowing, hilarious, heart wrenching journey across the pitfalls of the ordinary and extraordinary as the son of God raised by the devil tries to save his family, his world, and maybe even himself.”

A release window for Mister Miracle will likely be announced once a network has picked up the adult animated series.
