Mister Miracle: New Details Revealed About DC Show in Casting Update

Some new details about the forthcoming animated Mister Miracle series from DC Studios have been revealed.

In June 2025, it was announced that Warner Bros. Animation and DC had greenlit a new Mister Miracle adult animated series. Based on the 12-issue comic book run from Tom King and Mitch Gerads, the show does not yet have a premiere date. It is unclear at this time if Mister Miracle will be set within the DCU or if it takes place in a different universe.

What is the new Mister Miracle update?

Per Nexus Point News, casting is currently underway for Mister Miracle. Not only will Darkseid be in the show, but a number of other related characters — including Highfather, Lightly, Orion, and Funky Flashman — will also show up.

“Darkseid is described as the physical manifestation of all evil in the universe,” the article notes. “He speaks in a silly, over-the-top manner, which is balanced with his calm, but confident demeanor. Funky Flashman serves as a narrator in certain scenes, and his Stan Lee inspiration is very prevalent in this adaptation of the character. Described as a ‘snake oil salesman,’ he’s very articulate with his words and knows how to sell a product. Lightray was raised alongside Orion and is very loyal to Highfather and Orion. He considers himself superior to Scott and Barda and sees himself as too good for the missions assigned to him by Highfather. Highfather is the all-knowing leader of New Genesis who has trouble connecting with the other New Gods due to his status and power, especially Scott, who has resented him childhood for his decision to give him up to Darkseid. Orion, the son of Darkseid, carries his father’s anger, sins, and ambition, but has repressed it since childhood since being raised by Highfather. Orion will serve as a mentor to Scott in the series.”

King serves as the showrunner and an executive producer on Mister Miracle. James Gunn and Peter Safran also executive produce.
