Actor Skyler Gisondo’s portrayal of Jimmy Olsen in this year’s Superman reboot was a breakout viewer fave—no debate.
Skyler’s got that “regular guy” charm down pat. Word is, he felt an instant connection to Jimmy’s everyman energy. So casting him? Impeccable match.
Now he’s stepping into the spotlight. The upcoming spinoff series will follow Jimmy and his fellow Daily Planet reporters as they chase down super-powered villains and scoop the truth—one chaotic headline at a time.
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
Season one’s big bad? Gorilla Grodd, the telepathic menace with a serious grudge. (DC heads know: Grodd doesn’t play.)
The show’s said to lean into newsroom dynamics, street-level sleuthing, and that classic “truth vs. power” tension—with a dash of super-chaos.
Produced by DC Studios, the series is expected to drop post-2025, likely streaming via Max. No official release date yet, but development’s in motion.
ICYMI: Gisondo’s Jimmy first appeared in the 2025 Superman film directed by James Gunn, where his grounded performance stood out amid the cape-and-kryptonite frenzy.
This’ll be a good one. We’ll be watching.
