HBO Max<\/a> has just ordered a series based on the\u00a0DMZ<\/em> comic, which revolves around a modern day civil war. Presumably, or perhaps hopefully, the depressing significance of their timing juxtaposed with everything going on in the U.S. right now is not lost on the streaming service.<\/p>\n

Following an initial order just for a\u00a0DMZ<\/em> pilot in 2019, HBO Max has now decided to go all in and expand it to a limited series<\/a>.\u00a0Ava DuVernay, known for directing 2014’s powerful drama\u00a0Selma<\/em> and 2018’s\u00a0A Wrinkle in Time<\/em>, directed the pilot which was written by Roberto Patino (Sons of Anarchy<\/em>). Both DuVernay and Patino will stay on as producers for the series, with Patino also\u00a0taking his place as showrunner.<\/p>\n

DMZ<\/em> tells the story of\u00a0Alma Ortega (who will be played by Rosario Dawson<\/a>) as she travels through the demilitarized zone which Manhattan has become thanks to this new civil war. She looks to find her son, who she lost when New York City was initially evacuated, and will face plenty of hardships on her journey. Among those hardships are the various gangs that have sprung up, with Benjamin Bratt starring as the leader of the most notorious one. With the gangs, warlords, and other strange encounters\u00a0Ortega is sure to find on her journey,\u00a0DMZ<\/em> almost sounds like a\u00a0Fallout<\/em><\/a> game, which should pique the interest of a few series fans.<\/p>\n

The series will also star\u00a0Hoon Lee\u00a0(Banshee<\/em>),<\/em> Freddy Miyares (When They See Us<\/em>),<\/em> and Jordan Preston Carter (The Haves and the Have Nots<\/em>), though their roles are currently unknown. Considering the setting, it’s not difficult to imagine the eclectic collection of characters they will likely inhabit. (Plus, given his age, it’s not much of a stretch to assume Carter may play the sought after son of Dawson’s Ortega.) “DMZ<\/em> offers up an explosive playground which, more than anything else, exalts the resilience of community and the human spirit,” said Patino, “I can’t wait to welcome the die-hard fans of the comic books and new viewers alike to this intoxicating, haunting and inspiring world.”<\/p>\n

With the current political powder keg<\/a> across America, it almost seems impossible for the series order to be a coincidence. Even when the pilot was first pitched, tensions had already been high for years thanks to the long-running issues below the surface which ultimately resulted in the current administration. In fact, if it wasn’t a real thing that happened, it would have made an excellent drama about the dangers of blind nationalism and allowing prejudice to fester unchecked. But now, with the current state of affairs, it has created the byproduct of a perfect climate for a\u00a0DMZ\u00a0<\/em>series.<\/p>\n

DMZ<\/em> has no projected premiere date at this time, so eager fans looking to see their favorite comic on the small screen as well as interested newcomers will have to wait a bit. But hey, maybe things will have mellowed out a bit by the time it happens, giving viewers a cathartic reminder that things aren’t as bad as they could have been. Of course, that’s incredibly wishful thinking, but there’s nothing wrong with a little optimism. Sometimes that’s all there is.<\/p>\n
