- Exclusive *Krypto Saves the Day* clip shows Krypto's wild day at the beach.

- Season 2 has now entered production: "More Krypto? Absolutely."

- The next animated short, "Coastal Catastrophe," arrives on YouTube this Saturday.

*Krypto Saves the Day* returns with an all-new animated short this month, while DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation confirm season 2 plans.

The Kryptonian canine is back in "Coastal Catastrophe," which features a cameo from Supergirl herself, Kara Zor-El, ** can exclusively reveal. The new short, premiering this Saturday, April 18 across DC’s official YouTube channels, sees Krypto enjoying a day at the beach with Superman until a few unexpected foes, including a seagull and a crab, get between the pup and a hotdog.

Exclusive early access for DC Studios Fan First community members starts this Friday, April 17.

"Coastal Catastrophe" marks the final short in season 1 and arrives as season 2 begins production, the studio confirms.

"More Krypto? Absolutely," Sam Register, president of Warner Bros. Animation, Cartoon Network Studios, and Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe, told EW in a prepared statement. "These first shorts gave our artists a creative playground to tell fun, charming stories as we explore new formats and distribution models for some of our most popular characters. And honestly — who wouldn’t want to spend their day animating a super cute dog? We've loved the fan response to *Krypto Saves the Day* and can't wait to keep building with our partners at DC."

Season 1 of *Krypto Saves the Day* kicked off in 2025 with three kid-friendly animated shorts: "School Bus Scuffle" in August, "Halloween Havoc" in October, and "Package Pandemonium" in November. The first episode was also included among the bonus materials on the home release for *Superman*, in which the DCU version of the super-powered dog plays a prominent role.

While DC Studios continues to beef up its interconnected superhero universe on the big and small screens, *Krypto Saves the Day* exists outside of that canon.

Supergirl's presence in "Coastal Catastrophe" also aligns with the character's return to movie theaters. Milly Alcock, known for playing younger Rhaenyra Targaryen on *House of the Dragon*, transforms into Superman's cousin from Krypton in this summer's *Supergirl*, directed by Craig Gillespie.

The film, set for release on June 26, is inspired by the *Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow* comic arc from writer Tom King and artist Bilquis Evely. The story involves a young alien girl, Ruthye Marye Knoll (Eve Ridley), who tracks down Kara with a desperate plea. Supergirl is determined to drown out her past trauma with booze and parties on distant planets, but Ruthye seeks her aid in bringing the brute who killed her family, Krem of the Yellow Hills (Matthias Schoenaerts), to justice.

*Supergirl *marks Jason Momoa's debut as bounty hunter Lobo, and puts Krypto in spotlight once more: When Krem poisons her dog, Supergirl has just three days to retrieve the antidote.
