There hasn’t been much news yet about the upcoming Metropolis series coming to the DC Comics streaming service, but if a listing at Production Weekly is to be believed, there should be a lot of movement including casting very soon, as the show is aiming to shoot between June and December of this year.
Metropolis is expected to premiere in 2019, so this is hardly surprising.
The production list also notes that the show will be filming in New York City. Gotham (also directed by Danny Cannon and produced by John Stephens) is currently also shot in that metropolis, whereas most other DC TV shows aside from Titans and Black Lightning have shot in Vancouver in recent years. We had heard that Chicago had at least been considered for this series; if the production list is right, that is no longer happening.
Here’s how the project is described:
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.
