HBO Max officially orders an eight-episode mockumentary series set in the James Gunn-led Superman universe, titled “The People v. Gorilla Grodd.” The half-hour show is a “true crime”-style comedy that focuses on Gorilla Grodd, with Jimmy Olsen at the center of the series.
Across outlets, the cast details are consistent: Skyler Gisondo returns as Jimmy Olsen, and Jimmy Tatro stars as Gorilla Grodd. Multiple sources describe the project as a crime mockumentary, framing it as a meta, doc-style comedic concept. Deadline and Hollywood Reporter also add production context, identifying DC Studios and Warner Bros. Television as production partners.
While TechRadar and ComingSoon.net emphasize what is known so far (including the confirmed title and cast), other coverage highlights the series order itself and how the show’s comedic, mockumentary format fits the DCU. Variety and Polygon focus on the official confirmation and the show’s premise, noting it follows earlier reporting that the project was in development. (DC comic fan reactions mentioned by TechRadar are not echoed by the other outlets.)
