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.

  • 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.”

Big Death in Secret Invasion Confirmed

Big Death in Secret Invasion Confirmed

As a spy story involving the shape-shifting Skrulls, Secret Invasion always presented itself as a twisty adventure in which nothing is what it seems. So while some people were certainly shocked when the first episode of the series ended with the death of Maria Hill, others assumed that the scene would echo CIA Agent Everett K. Ross’s death during the cold open. She would be revealed to be a Skrull and the real Maria Hill would return, probably to save Nick Fury in an exciting set piece. But the real Maria Hill has arrived to disabuse us of those hopes. Speaking with Vanity Fair, Hill’s actor Cobie Smulders weighed in on her character’s fate with some disappointing news for anyone writing the above headcanon. “Maria Hill’s passing is very real, and it’s shocking, and it feels very human,” Smulders explained. That last word carries particular weight, given the possibility of Skrulls masquerading throughout the story. But for Smulders, the human aspect presented a unique challenge for her as an actor. “It was a sad day,” she admits, while also acknowledging the opportunity to stretch some new performance muscles. “I don’t think I’ve ever died on camera,” she enthused. “I got a real death scene!”
