DC surprised fans by announcing an animated series headlined by Mister Miracle. Simply titled Mister Miracle, the show is produced by DC Studios.
However, it is imperative to note that the adult animated series has not been confirmed to be a part of Peter Safran and James Gunn's DCU. While it might be confirmed to be a part of the DCU in the future, for now that aspect remains unconfirmed.

The series was officially announced at the Annecy Animation Festival on June 12, 2025. The showrunner for Mister Miracle is prolific DC writer, Tom King, who is also involved in DCU projects as Lanterns. His role as the showrunner in the animated series has fans believe that it is based on King's own Eisner Award-winning 2017 comic-book series.
Mister Miracle, much like Creature Commandos, is an adult series
It was confirmed at the Annecy Animation Festival that Mister Miracle, despite being an animated show, is for adults, much like Creature Commandos, which streamed between December 2024 and January 2025. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the Tom King showrun series will be led by the Scott Free incarnation rather than Thaddeus Brown or Shilo Norman.
Moreover, the co-lead of the series is Big Barda, Scott Free's wife. It seems to follow their comic book storylines, as it seems that the couple in the animated show, much like in the comics, hail from Apokolips, or Darkseid's planet.
What is the adult animated series about?
As of now, very little is known about the animated show, except that it is targeted towards adults and that the showrunner is Tom King, who previously wrote an acclaimed comic series in 2017. An official log line of the animated series was also released at the Annecy Animation Festival. It reads:
"No prison can hold him. No trap can contain him. He is Scott Free, the worldwide celebrity sensation known as Mister Miracle, and he is the greatest escape artist who ever lived. But can he pull off the ultimate trick — and escape death itself? Something has gone horribly wrong with the perfect life that Scott and his warrior wife Big Barda have built for themselves on Earth. With war raging between their home worlds of Apocalypse and New Genesis, Scott’s cruel adoptive father Darkseid seems to have finally captured the Anti-Life Equation — the ultimate weapon that will give Darkseid total dominance over the universe."
Then, the official logline continues:
"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. And so begins the odyssey of Scott Free, Mister Miracle: 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."
