A first look at the upcoming DMZ TV series has been revealed by Ava DuVernay. The filmmaker took to Twitter a couple of days ago to share some photos with fans, giving them an idea of what to expect from the DC Comics adaptation.
Planned as a four-episode miniseries, DMZ was announced last October as being in development for HBO Max. Robert Patino, an executive producer on the series, is writing the entire run, while DuVernay is directing the pilot episode. She's also serving as an executive producer.
Based on the DC Comics series written by Brian Wood and illustrated by Riccardo Burchielli, DMZ takes place in a world where Manhattan is caught between two warring factions: the United States of America and the secessionist Free States of America. Rosario Dawson plays Alma Ortega, a fierce medic who goes on a harrowing journey to find the son she lost at the beginning of the conflict.
The series will also introduce Parco Delgado (Benjamin Bratt), the popular and deadly leader of one of the most powerful gangs in the DMZ. It also stars Hoon Lee (Warrior), Freddy Miyares (When They See Us), and Jordan Preston Carter (The Haves and the Have Nots).
