Suicide Squad Isekai, which is a new anime adaptation of the DC Comics’ supervillain team, is coming to Max and Hulu in a couple of weeks, and given that the series is produced by Attack on Titan animation studio WIT, it certainly sounds like the project is in good hands.
The last time we saw the DC group was in the 2024 videogame Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Unfortunately, it was delayed several times and received bad reviews, so perhaps the latest iteration will reach the heights of James Gunn’s efforts with his 2021 movie adaptation.
Confirming the release date news on X (formerly Twitter), the first three episodes of Suicide Squad Isekai will premiere on June 27. The anime will have 10 episodes in total, airing every Thursday until the season finale on August 15.

Elsewhere, the show will premiere on ADN in France, HBO GO in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, and Aniplus and Laftel in Korea. But there’s bad news for UK fans, as currently there’s no confirmed release for fans in that territory.
