James Gunn stepped onto social media this week to clear up the buzz around a new Jimmy Olsen DC series. Fans had seen reports about a true crime style show called DC Crime. Gunn told followers that the show does exist, but the name is wrong. He also gave the exact year the series will arrive.
The Real Project Behind the Rumor
The series follows Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, a reporter who digs into the crimes of Gorilla Grodd. The creators of American Vandal, Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault, write the episodes. Gunn and Peter Safran serve as executive producers. The team plans a pulpy, fun tone that fits the DC streaming series brand.
Release Timeline and What to Expect
Gunn posted that the project will not launch until 2027. He said there are less than two months left before the first episode is ready to shoot, which means the schedule pushes the debut far out. This timeline matches the broader DC Studios plan to roll out new shows gradually.
Because the title DC Crime never existed, fans should look for the official name when it is announced. The series will likely appear on HBO Max, the home of many DC streaming series.
Why Fans Should Be Excited
Jimmy Olsen is a beloved character who often helps Superman solve mysteries. Giving him his own show lets the audience explore a fresh angle on the DC Universe. The involvement of James Gunn adds credibility, as he has a track record of mixing humor with action.
Gunn also mentioned that the rumor sparked real life conversations. People approached him on the street asking about DC Crime. His clarification helped set realistic expectations for the upcoming project.
In short, the Jimmy Olsen DC series is real, it has a different title, and it will arrive in 2027. Keep an eye on official DC Studios announcements for the final name and trailer.
