DC’s “Deathstroke” Gets His Own Animated Series at CW Seed; ‘Saw’ Producers Make “The Pledge”

CW has their own digital platform now and it’s called CW Seed.

Deadline reports that, during the CW upfront presentation, the network’s President Mark Pedowitz unveiled two upcoming series for CW Seed, animated series “Deathstroke”, centered on the DC superhero, and “The Pledge”, which comes from the producers of the SAW horror franchise.

The announcement of the “Deathstroke” animated series follows the introduction of the character, the fan-favorite assassin and archenemy of “Teen Titans” leader Dick Grayson, on the live-action DC Universe series Titans, where he is played by Esai Morales.

The character is well known to fans of the popular “Teen Titans” animated series from Cartoon Network as well as the show’s 2018 tie-in feature film “Teen Titans Go! to the Movies”. Deathstroke has also been portrayed by Manu Bennett in 36 episodes of The CW series “Arrow” while Joe Manganiello (“True Blood”) appeared as the assassin in the 2017 feature film Justice League but only with an uncredited cameo.
