The sequel to Smallville we’ve all been waiting for is finally around the corner as DC & Warner Brothers announce a pre-superman drama series titled ‘Metropolis’. Although I was kidding about it being a sequel to the iconic superman show on the CW, the show will be centered around Lois Lane and Lex Luthor. According to Deadline News, Warner Brothers will adding their television drama to Warner Brothers new streaming platform that will become available in 2019. Deadline broke it down:
Lois Lane and supervillain Lex Luthor are getting their own live-action series. Warner Bros. upcoming DC-Branded direct-to-consumer digital platform has given 13-episode straight-to-series order to Metropolis, a new drama series from Gotham executive producers John Stephens and Danny Cannon and Warner Bros. TV. It will go into production later this year for premiere on the service in 2019.
Set in the wondrous and awe-inspiring City of Tomorrow before the arrival of Superman, Metropolis, based on the DC characters, follows Lois Lane and Lex Luthor as they investigate the world of fringe science and expose the city’s dark and bizarre secrets.
‘Metropolis’ will join 4 other DC shows that will be on the streaming service including ‘Titans’ and two animated shows; One about Harley Quinn and one is the 3rd season of Young Justice. The show that will center around Lois Lane and villain Lex Luthor is set to begin production soon (although having no actors tied to it just yet) and is set to release in 2019.
