In Brief: 'The People v. Gorilla Grodd' Headed to HBO Max and More
Jimmy Olsen reopens Gorilla Grodd’s murder case in an eight-part mockumentary that questions his 2021 conviction, HBO Max said.
- HBO Max officially ordered the eight-part crime-comedy series The People v. Gorilla Grodd, starring Skyler Gisondo as Daily Planet photojournalist Jimmy Olsen investigating whether the telepathic ape Gorilla Grodd was wrongly convicted of murder.
- DCU co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran greenlit the production, which centers on Gorilla Grodd, a superintelligent ape convicted of murdering his father, King Grodd, in one of Metropolis's most famous trials.
- American Vandal creators Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault serve as showrunners, writing and directing the series while reuniting Superman cast members Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, and Wendell Pierce as Perry White.
- The mockumentary will take a "360-degree look" at the case, according to director Jimmy Olsen, establishing the DCU's new annual format focusing on a different villain each year.
- Gisondo is expected to return as Olsen in James Gunn's upcoming Man of Tomorrow, with production on the film beginning next summer, extending the character's role across the broader DCU slate.
