The future of The People V. Gorilla Grodd, a spin-off series from Superman (2025), remains uncertain following changes in leadership at DC Studios.
In an interview with ScreenRant, Skyler Gisondo, who plays Jimmy Olsen, commented on the project's situation and stated that he had no information about the next steps. "That kind of stuff is definitely above my pay grade", the actor replied when asked about the matter.
Gisondo also spoke about James Gunn and Peter Safran's departure from the studio and expressed affection for the former executives.
“I love James and Pete so much. I think they've done a great job, and yeah, I'm so grateful to them both. I think there are still a lot of questions as to what this means moving forward. I hope we still get the chance to work together in some capacity. I don't really know, but yeah, definitely going to miss them,” he concluded.
With Skydance taking control of Warner Bros., the fate of projects in development at DC remains uncertain, and there is still no confirmation regarding the series' release.
Everything you need to know about The People V. Gorilla Grodd
The half-hour comedy will follow a mockumentary style, much like The Office and Modern Family, for example. The first season will center on the DC villain, played by Jimmy Tatro, a super-intelligent ape convicted of murdering his father, the King of Gorilla City. The eight episodes will follow Jimmy Olsen, a reporter for the Daily Planet, as he reopens the case and investigates whether Gorilla Grodd was wrongfully convicted in one of Metropolis’s most famous murder trials.
The cast will include the return of actors and characters from Superman, such as Beck Bennett playing Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant and Wendell Pierce as Perry White. Joining them in the series are: Mary Holland, Eduardo Franco, Arian Moayed, Dan Perrault, Andrew Leeds, and Tim Baltz.
Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault will serve as showrunners, writers, and executive producers, with Yacenda also directing all episodes. James Gunn and Peter Safran are also on board.
The People v. Gorilla Grodd still does not have a set release date, but it is expected to premiere after the Superman sequel.
