HBO is in the early stages of developing a live-action television series centered on the DC Comics character Poison Ivy (Pamela Isley). Lauren LeFranc, known for ‘The Penguin’, is attached to the project as a producer.

While initial reports suggested the series might be independent of Matt Reeves’ ‘The Batman’ cinematic universe, subsequent details indicate the project is expected to be part of the broader DC Universe (DCU) rather than the ‘Elseworlds’ imprint. Specific information regarding the plot, episode count, casting, or a release date has not yet been announced.
