James Gunn’s HBO Max animated series Creature Commandos<\/a> is returning for season 2 with some new team members. Numerous potential squad members held in custody at Belle Reve Correctional Center were teased in the season 1 finale and during a panel at Annecy Festival<\/a>, DC Animation revealed which character actually made the cut.<\/p>\n

The Bride will be leading the new squad alongside Eric Frankenstein, Doctor Phosphorus, and Weasel. As teased at the end of season 1, G.I. Robot is back with a bulky new look.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s got a really strong and emotional character arc this season,\u201d producer Rick Morales said. \u201c[Gunn] cares a lot and has really great insights. We sent him a dozen looks and keyed in on these rounder, bigger shapes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The version of King Shark<\/a> featured in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad<\/a> is joining the squad, and the show will reveal his backstory. The mummy Khalis, who was seen knitting in the finale, is another new member. He’s a kindly old man whose bandages have healing powers and might even be capable of resurrection. Weasel likes chewing on his bones.<\/p>\n

The final new member is Nosferata, a young woman who was experimented on by a mad scientist who basically turned her into a vampire. Her look was tweaked from the season 1 finale as the creators considered styles including goth, sci-fi, and rave girl, eventually deciding on something that looks a fair bit like Charli XCX. Morales describes her relationship with The Bride as extremely contentious, pretty much the opposite of how she dealt with Nina.<\/p>\n

Warner Bros. hasn’t shared a release date for season 2 of Creature Commandos, but expect it sometime next year.<\/p>\n
