With a 95% score from the critics on Rotten Tomatoes, at the time of writing, it's no surprise that Creature Commandos has been picked up for another season halfway through its seven-episode run.

James Gunn and Peter Safran, Co-Chairs, DC Studios said in a statement: “We're thrilled to team up with Max for another season of Creature Commandos mayhem. From our spectacular first season of Peacemaker to the astonishing run of The Penguin to the record-breaking launch of Creature Commandos, Max has consistently delivered above industry expectations and beyond our wildest imaginings. Thank you, Casey, Sarah, Pia, Sono and the entire team for your tremendous support of DC Studios. We are proud to call Max home.”
