We’re coming up on a year since The Penguin premiered on HBO, and the show’s been getting a lot of renewed attention thanks to its six nominations for the 2025 Primetime Emmy Awards. Alas, it still remains to be seen if The Penguin Season 2 will happen, with 2027’s The Batman: Part II being the only confirmed project set to continue Matt Reeves’ saga revolving around Gotham City’s Caped Crusader. However, there’s another upcoming DC TV show that just got a major update, though this one will be an exclusive for those who have an HBO Max subscription.
When DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran announced the DC Universe franchise’s opening Gods and Monsters slate in early 2023, Booster Gold was one of the TV shows unveiled. Updates on this particular series have been few and far between since then, but today brings word from Deadline that Our Flag Means Death creator David Jenkins has been tapped to write the pilot. If Booster Gold gets a series order, Jenkins is also expected to serve as showrunner.
