“I couldn’t be more thrilled to bring this epic to the screen with my boundary-pushing partners at WBTV and HBO Max, a sublime cast led by Rosario and Benjamin, and my partner and friend, the inimitable and ever-inspiring Ava DuVernay,” Roberto Patino, series showrunner/creator/writer, said in a statement.
“DMZ offers up an explosive playground which, more than anything else, exalts the resilience of community and the human spirit.
After wrapping production on the pilot for the potential series adaptation of the Vertigo comic, HBO Max has officially greenlit the Ava DuVernay-produced DMZ for a four-part limited series at the WarnerMedia streaming platform, with production slated to begin on the rest of the series in 2021!
I can’t wait to welcome the die-hard fans of the comic books and new viewers alike to this intoxicating, haunting and inspiring world.”
