Overview
- Reports published Wednesday say the Amanda Waller series starring Viola Davis and the Wonder Woman prequel Paradise Lost are no longer in active development at DC Studios.
- Multiple outlets say HBO and DC passed on pitches for TV series about Poison Ivy and Catwoman, with those concepts not moving forward for now.
- Lanterns remains the immediate TV priority and is set to premiere on HBO Max on August 16, giving the network a focused release this week.
- The Booster Gold project reportedly still exists at DC but is searching for new writers after its original creative team exited.
- Industry coverage frames these moves as a pullback from the broad 2023 'Chapter One: Gods and Monsters' TV slate, creating creative churn for talent and signaling a renewed focus on fewer, film-led franchise bets; DC Studios declined to comment.
