Announced at Annecy, Warner Bros. Animation is currently developing a Mister Miracle series.
The series will be executive-produced by Tom King, based on the comic book series Mister Miracle by King and Mitch Gerads. At the time of writing, there are no other creatives attached to the project.
In 2017, DC Comics released Mister Miracle by King and Gerads, a 12-issue series, and it would go on to win the Eisner Award in 2019.
King has his hand in quite a few of the DC Studios’ latest projects. The film, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, is based on the comic book series by Tom King and Bilquis Evely, and there’s also Lanterns, the Green Lantern series currently in production for HBO and for which King is a co-showrunner.
The official logline and description for Mister Miracle 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 the extraordinary, as the son of God, raised by the devil, tries to save his family, his world, and maybe even himself.
