Tom King’s New DC Comics TV Series Officially Confirms Release Window and Cast [Exclusive]
DC Studios is targeting a 2028 release for an adult animated series about Mister Miracle and Big Barda, based on Tom King and Mitch Gerads’ comic. The story pairs Scott Free and Barda’s relationship with the New Gods’ large-scale conflicts, and Tom King is adapting the series himself.
DC co-chief Peter Safran said the eight-episode season is far enough along that he has seen animatics for every episode; each is expected to run about 30 minutes. Josh Hutcherson will voice Scott Free and Mackenzie Davis will voice Big Barda. Safran described the comic as an emotional exploration of how people cope with questions that have no easy answers, but no exact premiere date has been announced.
