A new DCU short movie featuring Superman’s Krypto arrives on HBO Max next week.

Krypto made his official DCU debut in DC Studios and Warner Bros. Pictures’ Superman movie, which was written and directed by James Gunn. That movie is now available to stream on HBO Max.

Following the release of Superman, DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation put out the first installment of Krypto Saves the Day! last month. Krypto Saves the Day! is a four-part series of animated shorts that sees the superpowered canine use his superpowers to fix everyday problems in the city of Metropolis.

When is Krypto’s new DCU short movie being released?

HBO Max has now announced that the next installment of the series, Krypto Saves the Day: Halloween Haunt, will be available to watch on the streaming platform on Wednesday, October 1, 2025.

“Look Pup! Fresh off his star-making performance in Superman, Krypto returns in a series of original comedic animated shorts,” the synopsis for the series reads. “Krypto Saves the Day! brings the caped canine’s brand of heroic hijinks to everyday life in Metropolis. From school bus rescues to Spring Break cruise ship saves — and even Halloween candy crises — no adventure is too small as Krypto delivers super-powered action, laughs, and plenty of mischief for fans of all ages.”

Krypto is also expected to be a part of Craig Gillespie’s forthcoming Supergirl movie, which will be released on June 26, 2026. Written by Ana Nogueira and based on the 2021-22 comic book miniseries titled Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King and Bilquis Evely, the cast of Supergirl includes Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El/Supergirl, Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills, Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll, David Krumholtz as Zor-El, Emily Beecham as Alura In-Ze, and Jason Momoa as Lobo.
