If you're a fan of the Arrowverse (or The CWVerse as it's now known), then chances are you're familiar with Greg Berlanti's name. The prolific producer has served as an EP on everything from The Flash to Titans, Supergirl, HBO Max's upcoming Green Lantern series, and even planned pilots like Gotham Knights and Justice U.
Back in January, Supernatural alum Jensen Ackles revealed, "There is a DC property that I'm currently developing right now with Warner Bros. and some other good partners that I've got my fingers crossed for." Since then, speculation has run rampant about what this mysterious project might be.
The prevailing theory among fans is that it could be Red Hood-related. Ackles voiced the vigilante in an animated feature several years ago, and has even cosplayed as Jason Todd on social media.
Now, we know that one of Ackles' "good partners" is Berlanti. In a listing for this year's SXSW event (shared via Screen Rant), a description of the actor notes that "Jensen is also developing an Untitled DC Project with Greg Berlanti." This is the first we've heard of his involvement, of course, and it likely means this is a TV show rather than a movie that's destined for The CW or HBO Max.
Ackles will next be seen as Soldier Boy in The Boys, but he's also developing a Supernatural prequel, The Winchesters, for The CW. The actor had also shot a part in Rust before production was shut down after cinematographer Halyna Hutchins' tragic death.
