Doom Patrol
A new DC Comics TV series is in the works and rumor has it that this is Doom Patrol.
The new TV show is filming in the Atlanta area and has been releasing various casting notices for local talent that would like to work as paid TV show extras. Extras / background casting is being handled by MHC in Georgia and those interested in working as paid extras on the show must be local to the Atlanta area in order to be considered.
The new DC Comics addition currently is set to have a Valentine’s Day… or day after premiere with the current air date set to February 15, 2019. Doom Patrol will be the 2nd live-action series coming from the DC Universe of comics. The show will be airing on their steaming service.
Doom Patrol is based on the DC Comics which are set around an unlikely group of misfits turned heroes. The band of misfits has a mysterious benefactor in common named Dr. Niles Caulder.
According to the show’s cast information, Timothy Dalton will be playing the mysterious mastermind that brings this all together.
According to the show’s wiki page, the original Doom Patrol first appeared in 1963 and was created by writers Arnold Drake and Bob Haney. Since then, the story has had a few variations. The new Warner Bros show is described to be a re-telling of the original.
Originally, the stories characters were created as misfits and actually called the “World’s Strangest Heroes.” The original comic superhero characters included The Chief, Robotman, Elasti-Girl and Negative Man. The original show lasted to 1968.
Here is the new Doom Patrol description:
DOOM PATROL is a re-imagining of one of DC’s most beloved groups of outcast Super Heroes: Robotman, Negative Man, Elasti-Girl and Crazy Jane, led by modern-day mad scientist Dr. Niles Caulder (The Chief). The Doom Patrol’s members each suffered horrible accidents that gave them superhuman abilities — but also left them scarred and disfigured. Traumatized and downtrodden, the team found purpose through The Chief, who brought them together to investigate the weirdest phenomena in existence — and to protect Earth from what they find. Part support group, part Super Hero team, the Doom Patrol is a band of super-powered freaks who fight for a world that wants nothing to do with them. Picking up after the events of TITANS, DOOM PATROL will find these reluctant heroes in a place they never expected to be, called to action by none other than Cyborg, who comes to them with a mission hard to refuse, but with a warning that is hard to ignore: their lives will never, ever be the same.
