Diane Guerrero’s DC Universe Series “Doom Patrol” Renewed for Second Season

Posted on July 22, 2019 by Tom Castaneda

There’s more crazy in Diane Guerrero’s future…

The 32-year-old Colombian American actress’ superhero series Doom Patrol will be returning for a second season on DC Universe via a deal with HBO Max, WarnerMedia’s forthcoming streaming service, which has been a champion of the series.

Under the DC Universe/HBO Max deal, new original episodes of the series will debut in 2020.

Additionally, upon the spring 2020 launch of HBO Max, all 15 episodes of Doom Patrolseason one will be available for streaming.

Doom Patrolis based on the DC characters originally written and drawn by Arnold Drake, Bob Haneyand Bruno Premiani. The series is a re-imagining of the beloved group of outcast Super Heroes: Robotman, Negative Man, Elasti-Girl and Crazy Jane (Guerrero), 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 Patrolwill 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.

In addition to Guerrero, the series also stars April Bowlby, Joivan Wade, Alan Tudyk, Matt Bomer, Brendan Fraserand Timothy Dalton.

Diane Guerrero’s DC Universe Series “Doom Patrol” to Premiere in February

Posted on December 22, 2018 by Tom Castaneda

Diane Guerrerois going on Patrolthis February…

The unloved outcasts of Doom Patrol, including the 32-year-old Colombian American actress as Crazy Jane, will arrive the day after Valentine’s Day.

The February 15 premiere date has just been announced for Doom Patrol, the second live-action original series for DC Universe, the subscription streaming site that launched in September and premiered Titansin October.

The new series, a re-imagining of the comic book team, features a band of misfit heroes who walk lonely paths and have origin stories drenched in tragedy. The outsider souls find an uneasy alliance together under the leadership of a mysterious mastermind, Dr. Niles Caulder, portrayed by veteran actor Timothy Dalton.

The show also stars Matt Bomer as Larry Trainor/Negative Man, Brendan Fraser as Cliff Steele/Robotman, April Bowlby as Elasti-Woman, Guerrero as Crazy Jane, and Joivan Wade as Victor Stone/Cyborg.

The team of powerful outcasts has a long publishing heritage — this year marks the 55th anniversary of the team’s first appearance in the pages of DC Comics— but the group has rarely been a spotlighted brand.

The Doom Patrol’s idiosyncratic adventures, bizarre enemies and outsider ethos make the team the most “Marvel-like” of DC’s long-time properties. Comparisons have been frequently drawn between Doom Patrol and Marvel’s X-Men, the mutant team that debuted in September 1963, a mere three months after the DC squad’s summer debut that year.

Members of the Doom Patrol made their first live-action appearance in the fourth episodes of Titans, a series that reaches its Season 1 finale today. DC Universe is also live now on Amazon Fire TV, expanding its reach to a new, key distribution platform.
