Poison Ivy TV Series In Development at HBO With ‘The Penguin’ Showrunner
Lauren LeFranc is producing the project, which is said to not fall within Matt Reeves' Batman universe.
DC Comics' Poison Ivy is in the early stages of development for a live-action TV show, with Lauren LeFranc, the showrunner of HBO's The Penguin series, in talks to produce it. The show will not be part of Matt Reeves' Batman universe, meaning Colin Farrell's Penguin will not be involved. Lauren LeFranc is currently in discussions to produce the Poison Ivy show, which will also air on HBO.
However, there are no writers or cast attached to the project yet. Fans are eagerly awaiting news on who will play the leading role, as Poison Ivy has not appeared in recent DC projects, including James Gunn's DC cinematic universe and the upcoming Batman film. Scarlett Johansson is confirmed to be in the Batman movie, but her character, Gilda Dent, is not widely speculated to be Poison Ivy.
Poison Ivy's most recent appearance is in DC Studios' animated Harley Quinn show, where her romance with Harley Quinn is the focus. Fans are hopeful that a live-action series will explore this relationship and fill the casting gap left by Margot Robbie, whose future in the DCU remains unclear. In the meantime, fans can look forward to the release of Clayface, which is set to hit theaters on October 23 and has received positive reviews.
