Booster Gold TV Show Pilot in Development for HBO Max: Potential for Full Series?

Exciting news for DC Universe TV show Booster Gold fans! It looks like HBO Max is gearing up for a pilot episode, but whether this will lead to a full series is still up in the air.

After the recent release of the DCU movie Superman, we’re starting to get a glimpse of what DC Studios has in store. Co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran have a lot on their plate with upcoming projects like Supergirl, Clayface movies, Peacemaker Season 2, and a Lanterns TV show in the pipeline. They’re even working on fast-tracking a Wonder Woman movie and a Batman movie based on The Brave and the Bold. Additionally, there are rumors swirling about TV spin-offs for Superman’s supporting characters, Mister Terrific and Jimmy Olsen.

But what about Booster Gold? Back in 2023, Gunn and Safran teased a Booster Gold TV show, but details have been scarce since then. However, according to Deadline, HBO Max has tapped David Jenkins, the creator of Our Flag Means Death, to write the pilot episode. If the pilot gets approved, Jenkins will be leading the show.

Of course, nothing is set in stone yet. Gunn has emphasized that DC Studios won’t move forward with any projects unless the scripts are top-notch. Will this Booster Gold pilot make the cut? Only time will tell.

For those unfamiliar with Booster Gold, Gunn describes the character as someone who uses futuristic tech to pose as a superhero in modern times. If you want to dive deeper into Booster Gold’s origins, we have an explainer to get you up to speed.

According to Gunn, it seems like Booster Gold is on the right track. Let’s hope this pilot episode gets the green light for a full series!
