HBO Poison Ivy Show Reportedly Coming From 'The Penguin' Producer
A Poison Ivy TV series is reportedly in the works from The Penguin's showrunner. It would be separate from Matt Reeves' The Batman continuity.
HBO is reportedly considering producing a new series based on Poison Ivy, the DC Comics character known for her control over plant life. Lauren LeFranc, who is the showrunner and executive producer of The Penguin, is in talks to take on the Poison Ivy project. It is currently unclear if this Poison Ivy series would be connected to the larger DC Universe or exist in a separate universe.
The Poison Ivy character, also known as Dr. Pamela Isley, has had various appearances in both comic books and adaptations, most notably in the 1997 film Batman & Robin and the animated sitcom Harley Quinn. The Poison Ivy series is in very early development stages, with no writers yet attached, and was paused for a time due to the merger between Paramount and Warner Bros.
If it receives a green light, it would be produced by HBO, similar to The Penguin. It remains to be seen if Batman will appear in the Poison Ivy series, especially if it is part of the DC Universe.
