Co-CEO of DC Studios James Gunn announced Paradise Lost, a live-action television show about the Amazons of Themyscira aka Paradise Island, as part of the upcoming DC Universe slate. In a video describing upcoming film and television projects for the DCU, Gunn described Paradise Lost, “It’s almost like Game of Thrones… but with all the inhabitants of Paradise Island.”
Via this description the show will be a mystical drama, with massive battles and political intrigue. Themyscria has been a setting in live action DC films before, like in Wonder Woman and both versions of Justice League. Whether any of the actors who played Amazons in those films will return is unknown. It is also unclear what era the show takes place in, though the description would imply that the show takes place before most DCU projects.
Here are just a few of our plans. Up, up, and away! #DCStudios #DCU @DCComics pic.twitter.com/8XNDNLUEPq
