Creature Commandos release schedule: When are new episodes out on Max?
James Gunn's latest band of misfits has arrived.
The first project in James Gunn's DCU, Creature Commandos, has now been released in the US to rapturous reviews, with fans and critics alike finding something to love in the writer/director latest bunch of misfits.
Gunn, who have previously been behind the Guardians of the Galaxy film series and The Suicide Squad, is now putting his own stamp on the DC Universe, with this animated series acting as the starting point, ahead of next year's big screen debut, Superman.
The series features a stacked cast of voice actors, including the likes of Viola Davis, Frank Grillo, Indira Varma and David Harbour, and follows a group of prisoners put together by Amanda Waller to take on highly dangerous missions, in a similar vein to the Suicide Squad.
According to Gunn, the series will be interconnected with other DC properties, meaning it really is one not to miss. But with episodes now streaming on Max in the US, when can fans expect the next instalment to arrive?

When will Creature Commandos be released in the UK?
Unfortunately, we don't yet know when Creature Commandos will be released in the UK. The only recent series that we can look to for guidance is Peacemaker, another DC show from James Gunn.
The first season of that show first aired on Max from January 2022, finishing up its episodes in February. It then arrived in the UK on Sky Max and NOW, services which have taken many previous HBO, Warner Bros and DC properties in the past, on 22nd March 2022.
While a Sky and NOW release has yet to be confirmed for Creature Commandos, if it does appear there and follows a similar trend to Peacemaker, we could expect to get the episodes around February 2025. However, this is, for now, all speculation.

What is Creature Commandos about?
The official synopsis for Creature Commandos says: "In this edgy DC animated series, a secret team of incarcerated monsters is the last resort for missions deemed too dangerous for humans."
It follows Amanda Waller as she sets up Task Force M, which is a precursor to the Suicide Squad in the DC comics. It is set to tie into future DC series and films, including Superman and Peacemaker season 2.
