While the show doesn’t officially have greenlit status yet, the ‘Superman’ spin-off TV series, now known as ‘DC Crime,’ is continuing to add to its cast.

Joining Skyler Gisondo (back as Daily Planet photographer Jimmy Olsen) is Jimmy Tatro, most recently seen in ‘Scream 7.’

And though the DC Studios universe took a bit of a hit when ‘Supergirl’ didn’t soar at the box office, hopes are higher for James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ follow-up ‘Man of Tomorrow’ and the upcoming ‘Lanterns’ series.

What will the story be for the new ‘Superman’ spin-off?

The concept centers on Olsen, as well as other Daily Planet reporters (minus Lois (Rachel Brosnahan) and Clark (David Corenswet) who are unlikely to appear beyond possible cameos), who tackle cases involving super-powered villains.

Gorilla Grodd (Tatro, though we predict in a voice or performance capture capacity) will be in the spotlight for the first season.

In case you don’t know your DC lore, Grodd is a super-intelligent evil ape who rules a secret African city named Gorilla City. The character is a key antagonist for the Flash, and first appeared in an issue of the Scarlet Speedster’s comics back in 1959. He was created by John Broome and Carmine Infantino.

Could this be a stealthy way of introducing DC Studios’ take on the speedster? Anything’s possible, though we won’t hold our breath just yet.

As for the tone, the new show sees Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda, who created the award-winning Netflix mockumentary ‘American Vandal,’ (which also starred Tatro) overseeing, so we’re predicting a comical mock-doc format.

When will ‘DC Crime’ be on screens?

There is no word yet on when this one might arrive (especially since it has yet to be officially commissioned), but don’t expect it much before 2027 at the earliest.
