DC Studios has announced an exciting lineup of three new animated series, expanding their content offering for younger audiences while maintaining appeal for longtime fans.

"My Adventures with Green Lantern" will follow high school student Jessica Cruz, whose life changes dramatically when she becomes an unlikely hero after a Green Lantern Power Ring chooses her as its champion. The series, helmed by executive producer Jake Wyatt and co-executive producer Stephanie Gonzaga, will exist in the same universe as the popular "My Adventures with Superman" show.

In "Starfire," viewers will discover the origin story of the beloved Teen Titans character as she embarks on an intergalactic journey. After finding an ancient spaceship on her home planet Tamaran, Starfire ventures into space where she meets an eclectic group of companions including space biker Crush, nature enthusiast Fern, and Princess Amethyst of Gemworld. Together, they explore the DC universe while encountering space dolphins and surfing through colorful nebulas. The series is being brought to life by executive producer Josie Campbell and co-executive producer Brianne Droughard.

"DC Super Powers" takes place at the Alliance School for Heroes, where a new generation of heroes-in-training including Lightning, Flash, Plastic Man, Aquagirl, Green Lantern, and Terra work to master their abilities under Principal Martian Manhunter's guidance. Matt Beans serves as executive producer with Michael Chang as supervising producer.

In addition to these series, DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran revealed plans for seasonal Krypto the Superdog shorts set in the DCU, with the first installment expected to release in fall 2024. The shorts will feature Superman's lovably mischievous canine companion following his upcoming appearance in this summer's "Superman" film.

Release dates for the three animated series have not yet been announced.
