J.J. Abrams Developing MADAME X DC Series for HBO Max
J.J. Abrams is developing yet another DC project for Warner Bros. It’s a Madame X drama series that will be coming to HBO Max.
Madame X, a.k.a. Madame Xanadu, first appeared in the DC Comics universe back in 1978 and is part of the Justice League Dark universe. “The character is a sorceress who has helped the Suicide Squad and serves as Spectre’s spiritual adviser and, in DC’s The New 52, assists the Dark League and was revealed to be the mother of villain Doctor Destiny.”
The project is in the early development stages, and it will be written and executive produced by Angela Robinson (Professor Marston & the Wonder Women, The L Word).
Abrams and his Bad Robot Productions are developing several projects for HBO Max, including a Justice League Dark franchise that is being designed to feature multiple spinoffs as part of a larger connected world similar to the MCU. As part of the Justice League Dark plans, there’s also a Constantine series in development.
Abrams is also teaming with Matt Reeves for an animated Batman series, and he’s also producing a new Superman film.
