DCU Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters TV Series Release Dates (Projected)

Most James Gunn DCU TV series do not have firm release dates yet, as many are still in early development or pre-production. The DCU's first chapter, "Gods and Monsters," is a multi-year plan, and while some projects have target windows, specific dates are subject to change based on production schedules. Here's what we know:

Announced DCU TV Series & Current Status

• Creature Commandos: This animated series is expected to be the first DCU project to release. It's already in production, with voice recording underway. Projected Release: Late 2026.
• Waller: A live-action series starring Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, spinning off from Peacemaker. It's in development, with scripts being written. Projected Release: 2027.
• Lanterns: A major live-action series focusing on Hal Jordan and John Stewart as Green Lanterns, described as a "True Detective-style mystery." It's in early development. Projected Release: Late 2027 or 2028.
• Paradise Lost: A live-action series set on Themyscira before the birth of Wonder Woman, described as a "Game of Thrones-style story." In early development. Projected Release: 2028.
• Booster Gold: A live-action series about a time-traveling loser from the future who uses future tech to pretend to be a superhero. In early development. Projected Release: TBD, likely 2028 or beyond.

Pro tip: Animation (like Creature Commandos) generally has a shorter production cycle than live-action, which is why it's slated to arrive first. For the live-action series, expect significant lead times for casting, filming, and post-production, meaning firm dates will only be announced much closer to release.
