Teaser trailer and images for the Judge Dredd: Superfiend animated series

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

While there is still a chance we will someday see a big-screen sequel to 2012’s underappreciated DREDD, producer Adi Shankar has something else for now that should satisfy fans. Judge Dredd: Superfiend is an “unofficial” animated spin-off based on one of the most popular storylines in the character’s 30-plus-year comic book history. Superfiend brings in Judge Death, Dredd’s supernatural nemesis from the long-running series.

First appearing in 1980’s 2000AD No. 149, Judge Death was popular enough to have his own series in both the British anthology comic and Dredd-centric spin-off Judge Dredd Magazine. Superfiend will also feature appearances from other fan-favorite characters including Mean Machine Angel, whose last appearance outside of comics was in the 1990s Sylvester Stallone JUDGE DREDD movie.

I really like the style of this teaser, it reminds be a lot of the great Beetlejuice animated series. I was never really into the lore of Dredd, but have always been fascinated by the history. I think this is going to be a great replacement for that sequel we all hope for.

Check out the first images and poster from EW:

Judge Dredd: Superfiend lands online October 27, 2014 and there should be a full trailer this week.
