The new Warner Media streaming platform HBO Max has released the first three episodes of its series Doom Patrol, according to ComicBook.Com. The DC superhero series is set to debut its second season on the new streaming service on June 25 after its first season premiered and featured exclusively on DC Universe in February 2019. However, in preparation for the comic book series’ second season, these first three episodes of season one will be made available for free to non-HBO Max subscribers. Developed by Jeremy Carver (Supernatural, Being Human), the show is executive produced by the likes of Geoff Johns (The Flash, Stargirl), Greg Berlanti (Dawson’s Creek, You, Love, Simon) and his Berlanti Productions, and Carver himself.
Doom Patrol centers on characters from the superhero team under the same name in the DC Universe.
