Jimmy Olsen's New Adventure: DC Crime Series in the Works
DC Studios and HBO Max are brewing up something unique in the DC universe. Introducing DC Crime, a spinoff series that blends true-crime storytelling with the superhero world.
Jimmy Olsen Takes the Lead
Jimmy Olsen, Superman's trusted friend, steps into the spotlight as the host. Fans may recognize him from the recent Superman blockbuster directed by James Gunn. Skyler Gisondo reprises his role as Jimmy in this new project.
Season 1: Gorilla Grodd in the Spotlight
The first season will focus on Gorilla Grodd, a psychic-powered gorilla known for his battles with The Flash. Grodd has been a part of the DC universe since 1959 and even appeared in the DC Arrow-verse. How will this series blend classic superhero elements with a modern true-crime format?
The Creative Team Behind DC Crime
The series is helmed by Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault, the masterminds behind Netflix's American Vandal (2017-2018). They are writing, executive producing, and running the show. James Gunn and Peter Safran, the heads of DC Studios, are also on board as executive producers. Galen Vaisman oversees production, with Warner Bros. Television bringing it all together.
A Mix of Fresh and Experienced Talent
- Tony Yacenda has worked on Hulu's Chad Powers and Dave at FX.
- Dan Perrault recently starred in Shondaland-Netflix's The Residence.
Will DC Crime Deliver?
The big question remains: Will DC Crime capture the same vibe as American Vandal but with a superhero twist? Only time will tell.
