Surprise Reveal: DC's Gorilla Grodd Series Starts Filming This Year!
Get ready for some primate pandemonium: DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran just dropped a bombshell, confirming a Gorilla Grodd TV series is officially filming later this year. Safran, who shared the news somewhat jokingly at the Brazilian premiere of the Supergirl movie, gave fans the clearest sign yet of the DC Universe’s expanding ambition.
This is huge. Grodd, a telepathic super-genius and one of The Flash’s most iconic, terrifying villains, has been a fan-favorite for decades. Rumors have swirled for months about a unique "true-crime" style docuseries, potentially hosted by Jimmy Olsen, exploring Grodd's story. While co-CEO James Gunn previously debunked specific details like a title or release date, he hinted the core idea wasn't entirely off-base. Now, with Safran's confirmation, it seems DC is indeed giving this formidable foe his own spotlight. It’s a bold move, promising a deep dive into one of DC’s most fascinating, complex antagonists. Expect something truly unique.

Catzye Take
What’s interesting here is DC embracing its weirder, more iconic villains in solo projects. This isn't just another superhero show; it promises a unique narrative approach to a character usually relegated to a villain role. Fans will want to watch for more details on its unique format.
