Creature Commandos Showrunner Wants a Season 2, But How Will That Impact the DCU?

by

As a seasoned gamer and DC Universe aficionado, I must say that the news about Creature Commandos has me genuinely excited! The idea of a self-contained storyline with potential ties to other projects within the cinematic universe is intriguing and aligns perfectly with my love for interconnected narratives.

As a gamer eagerly anticipating the release of “Creature Commandos”, it’s thrilling to hear from showrunner Dean Lorey that he’s already planning for a potential second season! In an exclusive chat with ScreenRant, Lorey hinted, “We definitely want to do another season. We don’t have a five-season plan or anything like that, but we’re hoping to continue this story.” This statement suggests that discussions about the future of “Creature Commandos” within DC Studios are underway. Even more exciting, Lorey also shared, “At the end of the first season, you’ll see some characters that might be part of a potential second season, and there’s plenty of fun to look forward to!” Here’s hoping for many more adventures with these unique Commandos!

From Lorey’s statement, there are several points to consider. Initially, “Creature Commandos” wasn’t intended as an infinite series with a predetermined five-season plan. However, the showrunner has developed a plotline for Season 2, which will tie into the first season’s finale, where characters are selected for another escapade. This is exciting news since it suggests that “Creature Commandos” tells a complete story that could potentially be incorporated into other ventures, making it an ideal blueprint for a cinematic universe.

Lorey’s wording hints that not all Creature Commandos members may make it through Season 1, as only certain characters are scheduled to appear in the finale, which could lead to a role in the next season. Moreover, Lorey’s use of “I hope” suggests that while Max is considering more investment in Creature Commandos, a second season has not yet been officially confirmed. To clarify, Max plans to assess viewership before committing further funds, and DC Studios’ co-head James Gunn emphasizes that no DCU project will be greenlit until the scripts are completed and approved.

Creature Commandos Will Kickstart the DCU

In its debut as the initial chapter of Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU, Creature Commandos is anticipated to hint at a more expansive universe. According to Gunn, the series boasts several significant cameos from DC, suggesting that DC Studios has faith in the project’s success and plans to integrate it with larger-scale productions, potentially even 2025’s Superman. The weight of expectation rests heavily on this monster team, but discussions about a second season indicate that the Creature Commandos are well on their way to meeting fans’ lofty expectations.

In the launch of Creature Commandos, it’s important to note that James Gunn’s past DC Universe projects, such as Peacemaker and The Suicide Squad, are partially recognized within this new universe. Gunn has confirmed that the entirety of Peacemaker‘s Season 1, except for a single scene, takes place in the DC Universe. Although the decision is still pending for The Suicide Squad, we do know that Rick Flag Jr.’s (Joel Kinnaman) death in the film is canon, implying that most of its storyline will likely be included as well.

Creature Commandos will premiere on Max on December 5th.
