Creature Commandos Premiere Date Announced by Max

There’s a new sneak peek of the upcoming Creature Commandos adult animated series. Max has released a new photo and unveiled the show’s launch date.

Creature Commandos will premiere on Thursday, December 5, on Max. The streamer will release one episode weekly until Thursday, January 16, 2025.

The series is based on characters from DC Comics. The new photo gives fans a new look at Dr. Phosphorus, a skeleton surrounded by green flames wearing a scientist’s coat.

Phosphorus will join the ensemble, which includes other classic monsters as seen in other media. Other monsters on Creature Commandos include Frankenstein’s monster, a gill woman, and a weasel.

Creature Commandos is a seven-episode series about the monster team’s exploits following Amanda Waller’s orders for the US Government.

From San Diego Comic-Con 2024, Max shared a trailer for the series, highlighting its animation and tone. That news didn’t come with a release date, and the footage only shared that the series will air starting in December.

Variety reports that the show takes place in the new DC Expanded Universe, the same universe in which all the upcoming DC films will take place.
