DC Studios Developing 'DC Crime' Jimmy Olsen Series for Max Focused on Gorilla Grodd

The mockumentary-style project from American Vandal creators reframes DC villains through Daily Planet investigations.

Overview

  • Skyler Gisondo will reprise his breakout role as Jimmy Olsen to lead the in‑development series.
  • Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda will write, executive produce, and showrun after their work on American Vandal and Players.
  • Conceived as a fictional true‑crime/docu‑style program hosted by Olsen, the show follows newsroom probes into metahuman cases without Clark Kent or Lois Lane.
  • Season one is reported to center on Gorilla Grodd, a Flash‑associated foe introduced in DC Comics in 1951959.
  • James Gunn and Peter Safran are executive producers with Galen Vaisman overseeing; Warner Bros. Television is the studio, the planned home is Max, and no premiere date has been announced as DC and Max declined comment.
