Highlights for the Week of Nov 24 – Nov 30 Stranger Things (Netflix): Season 5 Vol. 1 Premieres Wed Nov 26 Sci Fi TV News of Note: A television adaptation of Alan Moore’s V for Vendetta is in the works at HBO. Variety gives the following description of the property: The story is set in Britain in a dystopian, not-too-distant future in which the country is controlled by the fascistic Norsefire party. An anarchist named V, known for his distinctive Guy Fawkes mask, seeks to topple the government with the help of Evey Hammond, a young woman V rescued from the country’s secret police. James Gunn and Peter Safran will be onboard as executive producers, but the original series did not take place in the DC Universe, so it is unclear if this will be attached to their DC reboot. The 2019 prequel Batman prequel series Pennyworth, which focused on a young Alfred Pennyworth, was designed to lead into V for Vendetta, and it is unclear if this will be attached to that or if the show will follow its own continuity. Another DC-based series is in the works with DC Crime which will include Skyler Gisondo’s Jimmy Olsen and will act as a mockumentary looking at criminals like Gorilla Grodd. That has already moved into production and you can read more about it in our latest Sci Fi TV Production Report post .
