V For Vendetta Heads To HBO: What To Expect From The Series

HBO is developing a V for Vendetta TV series with writer Pete Jackson attached and James Gunn and Peter Safran executive producing for DC Studios. We break down what that creative team signals for tone and scope, how the show might adapt Alan Moore and David Lloyd’s classic, and where it could fit within HBO’s run of prestige comic adaptations. We also revisit the 2005 film’s legacy and outline the big questions fans should watch as the project moves through development.

  • HBO is developing V for Vendetta with Pete Jackson writing and DC Studios leadership producing.

  • Expect character driven storytelling with a focus on personal stakes inside a political thriller frame.

  • The series has strong runway at HBO, which has a history of turning comic properties into prestige TV.

  • The 2005 film set a high bar for mood and iconography, so casting for V and Evey will be pivotal.

  • Early cues to watch include period setting, one season retelling versus ongoing world build, and how closely it tracks the graphic novel’s themes.

  • “The mask is iconic, but the power of V for Vendetta is the way it asks who gets to define freedom.”

  • “If this show keeps the human story front and center, the politics will land without feeling like a lecture.”

  • “Casting V and Evey decides the show’s heartbeat before a single set piece is shot.”
