The Arkham Asylum-based series is reportedly no longer in the works at Max.
According to a new report from Variety, the Arkham Asylum series is no longer in the works. According to their source, the version that was set to have Antonio Campos as showrunner is indeed dead, but another series based within the walls of Arkham Aylum is possible in the future.
The Arkham Asylum series has had a bit of an odd road to this point. It was first announced in July 2020 as a series focusing on the Gotham PD with a series commitment from HBO Max. It then lost its showrunner in November of that year. Over time as work has developed on it, it morphed into a project that will focus on the infamous Arkham Asylum.
In Oct. 2022, Antonio Campos was reported by Variety to be the showrunner. At the time the series was set inside of Matt Reeves’ The Batman. In Dec. 2023 it was announced the project had moved tover to being set in the new DC Universe.
No word on what brought the project to an end, but something tells us the saga isn’t over quite yet.
