Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios Order Adult Animation Series ‘Mister Miracle’ (2025)

Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios have greenlit Mister Miracle, an adult animated series based on the 12-issue Eisner Award-winning comic from writer Tom King and artist Mitch Gerads. King is executive producer and showrunner on the series, which is currently in production.

Mister Miracle marks the second adult-oriented animated project from Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios, following Creature Commandos, the James Gunn-created series is currently in production on its second season for HBO Max. Other recent animated series orders from DC Studios include Starfire!, My Adventures with Green Lantern, and DC Super Powers.

The new series follows Scott Free, the world’s greatest escape artist, known to the world as Mister Miracle, whose perfect life with his warrior wife Big Barda falls apart when their two home worlds —Apocalypse and New Genesis—go to war and Scott’s cruel adoptive father Darkseid appears to have captured the ultimate weapon, the Anti-Life Equation, that will give him total dominance over the universe.

As the mountains of bodies on both sides grow ever higher, only Mister Miracle can stop the slaughter and restore peace. But the terrible power of the Anti-Life Equation may already be at work in his own mind, warping his reality, exposing his long-buried pain, and shattering the fragile happiness he’s found with the woman he loves.

The boilerplate for Mister Miracle describes the show as a “harrowing, hilarious, heart-wrenching journey across the pitfalls of the ordinary and extraordinary as the son of God raised by the devil tries to save his family, his world, and maybe even himself.”

Network distribution is still to be determined.

Warner Bros. announced the new series at the Annecy animation festival on Thursday.
