Amanda Waller is officially headed to HBO Max. On Tuesday, as part of DC Studios' reveal of its initial slate of movies and television shows, co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran confirmed Waller, a new HBO Max series with Viola Davis returning in the titular role. The show will be set in between the first and second seasons of HBO Max's Peacemaker, and will be brought to life by Watchmen alum Christal Henry and Doom Patrol's Jeremy Carver.
It's safe to assume that the series will build upon Waller's status quo at the end of the Season 1 finale of Peacemaker. In that HBO Max series, Waller's work with Task Force X and the Suicide Squad were outed to the public by her own daughter, Leota Adebayo . In the time since that episode aired, fans had wondered what that decision could mean for the Suicide Squad going forward, and for Waller's own role within the DC universe.
"As a comic book and Wonder Woman fan, I love the whole DC Comics universe," Davis previously told The Hollywood Reporter of portraying Waller."I traded comic books as a kid so all of that appeals to me. When you dream about being an actor as a kid, that's what you dream about. That's like play acting: being the superhero, getting the gun; it plays into that fantasy."
