The network or platform that will carry the show has not yet been announced, but the studios say they will be sharing more info about it during their adult animation-themed showcase on Friday.
'Mister Miracle' marks the second adult animated series from Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios since the latter was launched by bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran in 2022. It comes following the success of 'Creature Commandos,' which is currently in production for a second season on HBO Max. Other recent animated projects in the pipeline 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.
WBA and DC Studios have said more info will be shared about the series during their adult animation showcase on Friday, so stay tuned for our coverage of the event.
