Will Creature Commandos Return for Season 2? James Gunn Hints at a Peacemaker Crossover and Where to Stream

Creature Commandos turned out to be the rare thing in superhero land: an animated kickoff that actually clicked with fans. James Gunn clearly noticed, because he locked in a second season fast, and now he is openly talking about crossing those monsters over with Peacemaker. If you like weird squads, morally messy missions, and inter-show chaos, this is very much your lane.

So... are Creature Commandos and Peacemaker about to collide?

Short answer: Gunn is basically saying yes without printing the T-shirts yet. On Peacemaker: The Official Podcast, while chatting with Jennifer Holland and Steve Agee, he floated the idea of the Creature Commandos crew showing up alongside Peacemaker and the gang. He even name-dropped specific matchups, which is about as subtle as a Weasel in a china shop.

"I think what this person wants is for, like, Weasel and The Bride to team up with Phosphorus, with the 11th Street Kids. And - In a way, yeah, I think that is possible, yeah. Or even probable, in a way."

For context: the Peacemaker Season 2 finale set the stage for a 'Salvation Arc' that zeroes in on metahuman containment. That instantly opens the door for Task Force M (aka the Creature Commandos program) to get pulled into the mess. The 11th Street Kids, if you need the refresher, is Peacemaker's crew nickname. The fact Gunn is spelling out the pairings tells you he is not just spitballing.

Where Season 2 of Creature Commandos actually is

Right before Christmas 2024, Gunn hopped on social and said Season 2 was happening. He also reminded everyone that Season 1 was still rolling weekly on Thursdays and would wrap on January 9. A couple of months later, he posted on Threads that Season 2 was still in the writing phase. Translation: do not expect new episodes until roughly mid-2026. When it does land, it is headed to HBO Max, same as Season 1 and both seasons of Peacemaker.

What Season 2 is likely about (based on how Season 1 ended)

The Season 1 finale shuffled the deck at Task Force M. Rick Flag Sr. got called up, and The Bride took command of the team. That alone changes the vibe going forward, and it sets up a couple of clear paths.

One path: the prison dimension known as Salvation could be a big factor. The Commandos are all metahumans, and if Peacemaker is pivoting to metahuman containment, there is an obvious cross-current there. Another path: they get thrown at a global crisis, and failure becomes their one-way ticket to Salvation. Either way, expect new recruits alongside familiar faces, plus personality clashes now that The Bride is the one giving orders. Doctor Phosphorus does not exactly scream 'plays well with others,' and G.I. Robot is, well, a robot with opinions.

The bigger DCU strategy peeking through

Between Peacemaker Season 2 hitting big and Creature Commandos connecting out of the gate, Gunn now has two straight series that worked inside his new DCU. The crossover chatter is not just fan-service; it is the clearest sign yet that he is stitching these shows into a shared story spine rather than letting them orbit solo.
