Well, wait no longer, as the series is almost here. So, without further ado, here’s a look at where you can watch Creature Commandos.

When is ‘Creature Commandos’ Released?

Creature Commandos will be officially released on Max on Thursday, December 5, 2024, at 12 a.m. PT / 3 a.m. ET.

Can You Watch ‘Creature Commandos’ Without Max?

For US fans, Creature Commandos will only be available via Max, so a subscription will be necessary. However, news about a Creature Commandos release in other countries is not yet concrete, although Gunn did suggest more information may arrive soon in an interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub:

“Yeah. I got a list yesterday of all the places where
Creature Commandos
is, and it’s going to be in tons of other countries. There are a couple of major ones that we’re still trying to figure out, but it is in most larger-sized countries and European countries and South American countries and Asian countries right now.”

Watch the ‘Creature Commandos’ Trailer

At this year’s New York Comic Con on October 18, the full trailer for Creature Commandos was released and is available to watch above. Giving fans their best glimpse yet at what to expect from the series – including the visually delightful animation style on display – this trailer is packed full of action, the sort of which Creature Commandos will bring in abundance. The trailer also showcases Gunn’s characters at their enigmatic best, something the creator has plenty of experience with. This is a sentiment expressed in Nate Richard’s review of the series for Collider, saying:

“It shouldn’t be too surprising that
Creature Commandos
plays to all of Gunn’s greatest strengths as a storyteller. While this may be his first animated production, the series still has all the trademarks that Gunn has proven to be insanely successful with. He’s

no stranger to assembling a roster of weirdos

who, in the hands of any other creative, could have come off as too alienating or bizarre.
Yet Gunn finds ways to make this team of monsters feel sympathetic, relatable, and yes, human.
We begin the series expecting the characters to act a certain way, only for our expectations to be upended just a few episodes later.”

A synopsis for the series reads:

“Amanda Waller assembles a covert team of monstrous operatives, including a werewolf, vampire, and gorgon, to undertake high-risk missions deemed too perilous for human agents.”
