Celebrating the news that Creature Commandos had been renewed for a second season, James Gunn took to social media to explain why the show is released episodically, rather than releasing all at once.
What did James Gunn say about Creature Commandos?
Under a post celebrating the renewal of the second season of Creature Commandos, Gunn was asked by a fan why the series wasn’t released all at once, as some streaming platforms choose to do.
Gunn said a week-to-week release allows the show to be talked about more, and gather natural popularity via word of mouth.
“Because it affords a quality show an opportunity to be discussed and grow from week to week,” said Gunn. “[Creature Commandos] has gotten more popular from episode to episode because of the positive discussion around it and has cultivated an enthusiastic audience. If we had dropped all the episodes at once who knows what would have happened. I will likely always be in the one-a-week camp for our shows. For people who want to binge all at once they can wait until the end of the season.”
