In the wake of Sunday’s Emmys, Chairman and CEO of HBO Casey Bloys has spoken with Deadline about their upcoming slate where he confirmed something not entirely unexpected.
It seems that aside from the “Superman” spin-off series “The People vs. Gorilla Grodd” which recently entered production, all other proposed new DCU TV series are no longer in active development.
Rumors have been swirling about projects like “Waller,” “Paradise Lost” and “Booster Gold” not making progress for a while now. Today, Bloys confirmed it saying the projects were only ever in development and far from green lights:
“It’s the same thing with Game of Thrones. People read about development and they assume that those are greenlit shows, and they’re development. And everybody knows that development is just that – you’re trying things, you take big swings, not everything comes through.
I would say our track record in DC, from Watchmen to Peacemaker to Penguin and now Lanterns, is pretty good. We’re very selective. We’re careful about what we do, nothing has changed. You’ll read about development, but focus on what we’re greenlighting.”
Then asked if anything from the DC Universe is currently active in development, he responded:
“No, not right now, obviously you’ve got Gorilla Grodd, which I’m very happy about, doing something different, and I think it’s a really fun idea. They just started shooting.”
The comments come as “Lanterns” has been performing strongly with the fanbase and for the network with growing episode ratings. A potential second season hasn’t been given the go ahead yet.
