- The series will focus on Poison Ivy, Gotham’s plant-controlling super-villain and ecoterrorist, but will not be set within director Matt Reeves’ Batman universe.
- Poison Ivy, introduced in 1966, has never led her own TV series but has appeared in various animated shows and live-action series like Gotham and Batwoman.
- LeFranc previously achieved success with The Penguin series, which was part of Reeves’ Batman universe and won nine Emmys in 2025.
- HBO declined to comment on the Poison Ivy series, and Deadline was the first to report the news.
