DC Studios head James Gunn has announced that the series about Amanda Waller is still in development, but production has faced difficulties.
According to Gunn, the project is facing many challenges, including script revisions and uncertainty with the creative concept. In an interview with People, he noted that the Waller show remains in the plans, but is progressing slower than others: "We’re working on it, so we’ll see. Some things are further along than others, and that’s one that’s a little bit more complicated, but we are working on it," he said.
Gunn previously explained that the launch of the series was delayed due to the writers' strike and the need to complete the second season of "Peacemaker." The latter was prioritized due to the finished script. In addition, according to Gunn and co-head of the studio Peter Safran, the team has not yet found a final format for the Waller project.
The series was announced in 2022 among the first initiatives of the new DC cinematic universe. Christal Henry ("Watchmen") was brought in to write the script, and Jeremy Carver ("Doom Patrol") later joined the work. The show is expected to be in a more serious tone compared to "Peacemaker" and will focus on the dramatic side of Waller's character.
The release date of the series has not yet been announced. DC Studios is currently focused on other projects, including the superhero detective "Lanterns," which is scheduled to premiere in 2026.
