DC Universe Announces a New Anthology Series Called BIZARROTV and They Are Inviting Fans To Create a Show

DC Universe announced a new anthology series that’s coming to the streaming service called BizarroTV. It’s described as a "mixed media series," that will draw on obscure characters and "deep cuts from the DC portfolio of characters."

Some of the characters that will be included in the show are Space Cabbie, Ambush Bug, Slam Bradley, and The Creeper. The series doesn’t really have much to do with the character Bizarro, but it seems like it’s mostly inspired by the Eisner Award-winning 2002 Bizarro Comics anthology.

The project is being produced by Blue Ribbon Content, Warner Bros.' Television Group's digital production unit, and the short-form series will "showcase of experimental styles and creative voices and visions that will be a mix of live action and animation.”

When talking about the future of the DC Universe streaming service, DC Universe Senior Vice President and General Manager, Sam Ades revealed that they are asking fans to submit concepts for an unscripted show that could become a series:

“Since the launch of this service just over a year ago, we’ve established a community that has far exceeded our ambitions. We’ve hosted unforgettable member events - creating places and spaces where fans could have a voice. We’re working to take it to a whole new level in our second year by giving our fans an opportunity to submit their own concepts for an unscripted show that will potentially become a series on DC Universe next year.”

The program is called DCYou Unscripted and it will be open for submissions now through November 18 for members of the Ideas United network who are U.S. Residents and over 18. The network is open to sign-ups now.

Any creator is welcomed to easily and quickly apply to join the iU network. During the submission process, talent and fan enthusiasts alike will be able to submit their unscripted/reality video series ideas ranging from game shows to game play to hot food and hot takes.”

According to DC CCO Jim Lee, DCYou Unscripted is intended to "help find and nurture new content". 10 entrants will be brought to Hollywood to refine their pitches over the course of the day with industry professionals. The ideas will be judged by a panel of DC executives (including Jim Lee) and unnamed "entertainment luminaries."

So, if you’ve got an idea, now is the time to submit it!
