News DC Crime DC Crime: Jimmy Olsen Spinoff Series Officially in the Works With Gorilla Grodd as the Villain But will Eve Teschmacher be on it?!?! By Molly Templeton | Published on November 11, 2025 Screenshot: DC Studios Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: DC Studios Jimmy Olsen is going to have a lot more cases to crack. As played by Skyler Gisondo, the fresh-faced reporter was one of the highlights of James Gunn’s Superman (though to be fair, everyone in that cast was great). The movie was barely topping the box office charts when the Wall Street Journal reported that DC Studios was considering spinoffs for both Gisondo’s character and Edi Gathegi’s Mr. Terrific. And now it’s official: The Hollywood Reporter has the news that DC Crime will star Jimmy Olsen and other Daily Planet reporters (though not Clark and Lois) “who tackle cases involving super-powered villains.” Back in August, Wendell Pierce—who plays Daily Planet editor in chief Perry White—told People that he might be in such a series, saying, “I am his boss, so he can’t work without me.” At this point, though, Gisondo is the only confirmed star of the show—at least in terms of real human people. The first season will reportedly focus on Gorilla Grodd, the evil and super-smart gorilla. Grodd appeared on the small screen on The Flash—where he was the victim of experiments at STAR Labs—and I cannot say that was one of the better Flash storylines. But perhaps this new version will be different and/or better. One does wonder, though, how The Flash may or may not play into it. (Grodd’s first appearance was in a 1959 Flash comic.) The choice of creators for this series is interesting: Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda will write, executive produce, and showrun the series. Perrault and Yacenda are the creators of American Vandal, the mockumentary series about an incident of high school dick graffiti. The series had generally glowing reviews; a Salon review has the great sub-headline, “The mockumentary series explores the importance of moving past presumption. It’s also a four-hour dick joke.” In the years since American Vandal, Yacenda and Perrault created the series Players, and Yacenda has directed an assortment of TV episodes (including Chad Powers). Perrault is also an actor with roles on The Residence and the upcoming film Love Language. There’s no word yet on when DC Crime will begin production, or how it will fit into Gunn’s bigger DC Studios plans.[end-mark] The post <i>DC Crime</i>: Jimmy Olsen Spinoff Series Officially in the Works With Gorilla Grodd as the Villain appeared first on Reactor.
