On June 12, Warner Bros. announced that they would be adapting the Mister Miracle comic book series into an animated television series. They will be collaborating with DC Studios for the project. This news came with the release of the show's first look, which features two characters, including the titular superhero.

Tom King will be the showrunner as well as one of the executive producers of the show. He had co-created the comic book series with Mitch Gerads that went on to have 12 issues. The comic book issue also ended up winning the Eisner Award. The series will revolve around the journey of Scott Free, also known as Mister Miracle.

The long official synopsis of the forthcoming series 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."

"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."

The project was revealed to the public at the Annecy event, which showcases animated IP titles. King is also one of the producers of the superhero television series Lanterns.

Meanwhile, Mister Miracle was one of the four series created by Jack Kirby as part of a saga called Fourth World. DCU, on the other hand, will begin with Gunn's Superman. It will be followed by several other films and television series.
