Tom King, who wrote the acclaimed comic book series upon which the animated series is based, serves as showrunner.
No information yet has been shared about what network or platform "Mister Miracle" will be available on.
"Mister Miracle" is the second adult animated series Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios has collaborated on, the first being this year's "Creature Commandos" whose second seasons is currently in production.
According to Variety, "Mister Miracle" will follow escape artist and superhero Scott Free who seems to have put together the perfect life with his wife Big Barda.
But things start to look dark when war breaks out between the planets of Apokolips and New Genesis, and the villain Darkseid finally obtains the Anti-Life Equation which he means use to take over the entire universe.
Scott Free is the only hope to end the war between the two planets, but he begins to question whether or not the Anti-Life Equation is already fracturing his reality.
One big question that needs to be answered is whether or not, like "Creature Commandos", "Mister Miracle" is part of the DCU narrative or will be considered part of the "Elseworlds" stable of projects like "The Batman" and "Penguin".
"Mister Miracle" is not one of the series mentioned as part of DC's "Chapter One: Gods and Monsters" line-up, but considering the inclusion of the New Gods, it would certainly be a fitting entry.
If it is part of the DCU, something like "Mister Miracle" could mean a lot to the narrative moving forward. Though it's an animated series, "Creature Commandos", for example, introduced fans to Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr. who will return in both "Superman" and the second season of "Peacemaker".
