Pete Jackson is set to write the series adaptation, with DC Studios\u2019 James Gunn and Peter Safran set to executive produce the project alongside Ben Stephenson and Leanne Klein.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">No official announcement has been made, so it\u2019s unclear who will be behind the upcoming project beyond those listed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">V for Vendetta was originally published between 1982 and 1985, and was written by Alan Moore and illustrated by David Lloyd. The series was then collected into a graphic novel, and is often cited as one of the most iconic stories DC has ever produced. In 2006, a film adaptation was released starring Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving, Stephen Rea, and John Hurt. The film was directed by James McTeigue and written by The Wachowskis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The story of V for Vendetta follows the title character, V, a revolutionary who wears a Guy Fawkes mask, as he tries to bring down a fascist state via a revolutionary campaign. V eventually inspires a young woman, Evey Hammond, to follow in his footsteps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">(Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2025\/tv\/news\/v-for-vendetta-tv-series-hbo-1236572917\/#recipient_hashed=3a3baf33fde74a0cf9fc3af244dd666d88a51fe84dd964875093b5a98d5764b6&amp;recipient_salt=920d8b92feb07303a242938a23f9992cf27f3e5e076fcc9aa292a484a5828153&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=exacttarget&amp;utm_campaign=newsalert&amp;utm_content=645543_11-10-2025&amp;utm_term=10030496&amp;utm_medium=&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_campaign=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_id=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Variety;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Variety<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HBO is developing a television series based on one of DC\u2019s most famous graphic novels, and something that\u2019s already been adapted successfully.
