After making an impression in the
Arrowverse’s ‘Elseworlds’ crossover event
last year, we’ve been desperate to fully
dive into the world of Kate Kane, AKA
Batwoman, as Ruby Rose takes on the
mantle in her own show. Rose’s version
of the character is a highly trained street
fighter with a passion for social justice,
and takes it upon herself to become a
vigilante and protect the people of Gotham
City when it looks at though Batman
has abandoned them. The series was
developed by Arrowverse mainstay Greg
Berlanti as well as Caroline Dries who
worked as a writer on The CW’s Smallville
and Melrose Place, and an executive
producer on the network’s hit vampire
series The Vampire Diaries.
Will Batwoman’s solo
run be worth the wait?30 UTOPIA [SCI-FI]

Though there’s really not much information
out there yet about the US remake of
Channel 4’s cult sci-fi conspiracy series
Utopia, we’re expecting it to be somewhat
like the original. American Honey star
Sasha Lane is leading the cast as the
mysterious and somewhat elusive Jessica
Hyde, while Rainn Wilson is playing
Michael Stearns, the US version of Paul
Higgins’ Michael Dugdale, the hapless civil
servant who is blackmailed by the Network
into completing tasks for them. The new
series is being brought to life by Gone
Girl’s Gillian Flynn, so we’re expecting
drama of epic proportions.

Living With Yourself is just what we all
need in our lives: a show starring two
Paul Rudds. Rudd stars as George Elliot,
a man on the edge of burning out in
both his personal and professional life.
To deal with the problem, he undergoes
a new treatment, only to find that he’s
been replaced by a new and improved
George Elliot, also played by Rudd. Living
With Yourself is set to be a twisty, turny
series told from multiple perspectives,
with intersecting storylines and deep,
philosophical questions. The show hails
from Timothy Greenberg, who served as
an executive producer on The Daily Show
With Jon Stewart and won two Emmy
Awards for his efforts.32 DISNEY+ MARVEL SHOWS
