Overview
- Production is actively filming in Atlanta at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and recent set photos and clips this week show a practical gorilla suit and animatronics used for Grodd.
- The series follows Jimmy Olsen, played by Skyler Gisondo, as he produces an eight‑episode Daily Planet docuseries that reopens Gorilla Grodd’s conviction for killing the King of Gorilla City.
- Showrunners Dan Perreult and Tony Yacenda, creators of American Vandal, are leading the project and are credited with bringing a mockumentary and verité sensibility to the DCU entry.
- Leaked campus details, including a Metropolis University banner dated 1855–2015, suggest some scenes are set in 2015, which would place portions of the story about ten years before the 2025 Superman film.
- No release date or final visual‑effects decision has been announced, and coverage notes uncertainty about whether the practical Grodd seen on set will be augmented or replaced by CGI in postproduction.
