Beyond "V for Vendetta," there's also new movement on the "Superman" spinoff "Jimmy Olsen" series, which was reported to be in development in early July. The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda, co-creators of "American Vandal," will serve as showrunners for the series. The story will focus on Jimmy and other Daily Planet reporters investigating cases involving superpowered villains, with Gorilla Grodd confirmed as the main antagonist for the first season.
