WB Announces New DC Studios Animated Series MISTER MIRACLE Officially in the Works
Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios just dropped a major announcement at the Annecy Animation Festival with Mister Miracle, which is getting his own adult animated series.
Based on the Eisner Award-winning 12-issue comic by Tom King and Mitch Gerads, the new series will bring one of DC’s most psychologically layered characters to the screen in a bold new way. Tom King will also serve as executive producer and showrunner.
No streaming home has been officially confirmed yet, but the studios say they’ll be revealing more details during their adult animation-focused showcase.
This project marks the second adult animated series from the Gunn/Safran-led DC Studios after Creature Commandos, which has already locked in a second season for HBO Max. Other animated projects currently in development include Starfire!, My Adventures with Green Lantern, and DC Super Powers.
The series follows Scott Free, “known worldwide as Mister Miracle, the greatest escape artist who ever lived. With his wife, Big Barda, Scott seemed to have built the perfect life on Earth, until everything began to unravel.
“As war erupts between the planets Apocalypse and New Genesis, Scott’s adoptive father, Darkseid, has apparently obtained the Anti-Life Equation, a devastating force capable of dominating the universe.
“With carnage escalating on both sides, Mister Miracle becomes the last hope to end the conflict and restore peace. But the power of the Anti-Life Equation might already be affecting Scott’s mind, distorting his reality and threatening the happiness he shares with Barda.”
Warner Bros. and DC Studios promise more info is coming Friday during their adult animation showcase, so stay tuned!
This one’s gonna be wild.
