Elizabeth Banks Is Developing a DC SUPER HERO HIGH Series for HBO Max and Other Projects Announced

WarnerMedia is unleashing the fury today on many of the projects that are coming to HBO Max. Three of those new projects include DC Super Hero High from Elizabeth Banks, Rap Sh*t (working title) from Issa Rae and College Girls (working title) from Mindy Kaling.

Here’s what has been revealed for these projects so far:

DC Super Hero High is a half-hour comedy series, “which follows a group of students experiencing the fun and drama of adolescence at a boarding school for gifted kids. These teens are just trying to navigate the pressures of high school, but none of them realize that someday they will become legendary DC Super Heroes.”

DC Super Hero High is produced by Brownstone Productions in association with Warner Horizon Scripted Television, based on the characters from DC. Brownstone’s Banks and Max Handelman (Shrill, Pitch Perfect) are executive producers, along with writer Scott Weinger (Fuller House), John D. Beck (Disjointed, Fuller House) and Ron Hart (Disjointed, According to Jim). Brownstone’s Dannah Shinder (Shrill) will serve as co-executive producer.

Rap Sh*t (working title) is a half-hour comedy series that “follows a female rap group from outside of Miami trying to make it in the music industry.” The series will be executive produced by Rae and Montrel McKay for Issa Rae Productions, as well as Jonathan Berry (Insecure) and Dave Becky (Master of None, Russian Doll) for 3 Arts Entertainment, with Rae also writing the pilot.

College Girls (working title) is a 13-episode half-hour, single-camera comedy that follows “three 18-year-old freshman roommates at Evermore College in Vermont. A bundle of contradictions and hormones, these sexually active college girls are equal parts lovable and infuriating.”

The series will be produced by Kaling International in association with Warner Bros. Television, with Kaling and 3 Arts Entertainment’s Howard Klein serving as executive producers. Kaling will also serve as writer and showrunner on the series.

Sarah Aubrey, head of original content, HBO Max said in a statement:

“Elizabeth Banks, Issa Rae and Mindy Kaling are three of the most gifted women in our industry, and are now bringing their impressive, original projects to HBO Max.”

Kevin Reilly, chief content officer, HBO Max and president TBS, TNT, and truTV added:

“These three incredible talents embody the distinct and diverse voices that will give flight to the quality HBO Max brand promise across all audiences.”

HBO Max is set to launch in May 2020. Do any of these shown sound interesting to you?
