HBO Max just released a trailer for DMZ, the upcoming series that is based on the DC/Vertigo comic by Riccardo Buchielli and Brian Wood. HBO Max’s new series centers on a woman, played by Rosario Dawson, in a war-torn Manhattan who goes through a demilitarized zone to look for her lost son. The title of the series was in and out of development a few times over the past few years, and finally became a reality when Dawson signed, with executive producer Ava DuVernay (Naomi) on board to direct and produce the series. Benjamin Bratt also stars in the upcoming series. Back in October during DC FanDome, an early teaser was released, but this new trailer is a longer and more story-driven look.
"I couldn't be more thrilled to bring this epic to the screen with my boundary-pushing partners at WBTV and HBO Max, a sublime cast led by Rosario and Benjamin, and my partner and friend, the inimitable and ever-inspiring Ava DuVernay," Patino said in an interview. "DMZ offers up an explosive playground which, more than anything else, exalts the resilience of community and the human spirit. I can't wait to welcome the die-hard fans of the comic books and new viewers alike to this intoxicating, haunting and inspiring world."
You can check out the trailer below.
"'DMZ's' unflinching story of a country torn apart resonates eerily and profoundly amid our current state of the union," Sarah Aubrey, head of original content, HBO Max, explained. "With the powerhouse visionary team of Ava and Roberto at the helm, bringing this critically acclaimed DC gem to life promises to entertain and inspire hope."
The official description of the DMZ series reads: "In the near future, America is embroiled in a bitter civil war, leaving Manhattan a demilitarized zone (DMZ), destroyed and isolated from the rest of the world. Leaping off the pages of the popular comic, "DMZ" chronicles the harrowing journey of fearless and fierce medic Alma Ortega (series star Rosario Dawson), who sets out on a harrowing journey to find the son she lost in the evacuation of New York City at the onset of the conflict. Throwing gasoline on the flames of that conflict is Parco Delgado (series star Benjamin Bratt), the popular – and deadly – leader of one of the most powerful gangs in the DMZ. He wants to rule this new world – and will stop at nothing to secure that outcome. In this adrenalized and expansive drama which examines a stark political and cultural divide in American society, Alma must contend with the gangs, militias, demagogues and warlords that control this lawless no man's land. In doing so, she becomes the unlikely source of what everyone here has lost... hope."
HBO Max’s upcoming DMZ series is set to premiere on March 17 exclusively on HBO Max.
