HBO Max officially orders an eight-episode straight-to-series mockumentary set in the DC Universe titled “The People v. Gorilla Grodd,” serving as a Superman spinoff. The series is built around Jimmy Olsen and Gorilla Grodd in a comedic, true-crime style format.
Multiple outlets report the cast and creative team. Skyler Gisondo stars as Jimmy Olsen and Jimmy Tatro stars as Gorilla Grodd. The show is produced for HBO Max by DC Studios and Warner Bros. Television, and it features creators Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault, known for “American Vandal.” TVLine and Deadline report additional cast details beyond the leads, while Variety notes the project was first reported in late 2025 and later formally titled and greenlit.
Coverage aligns on the order, episode count, title, tone, and lead casting, with differences mainly in how much supporting cast information is emphasized and when each outlet says the project was initially reported. The emphasis varies between trade reports focusing on business (series order and production credits) and entertainment outlets focusing on format and performers.
