DMZonMax's showrunner believes there are more than enough ideas for a season 2. 'There's absolutely room for expansion... It's a world that's predicated on either self-reclamation or reinvention itself... it's full of incredible characters.”
Showrunner Roberto Patino says there are plenty of stories for a DMZ season 2 in the future. DMZ is a dystopian television miniseries streaming on HBO Max based on the Vertigo comic book series of the same name. Created by Brian Wood and Riccardo Burchielli, the DMZ comics are set in a desolate Manhattan which has become a demilitarized zone during the Second American Civil War. All four episodes of DMZ premiered on HBO Max on March 17.
Although Patino took inspiration from the comic book series, DMZ tells an original story set in Brook and Burchielli's world. Rosario Dawson stars as Alma"Zee" Ortega, a medic who enters the DMZ eight years ago to find her son and instead becomes a symbol of hope to Manhattan's people.
"There's absolutely room for expansion. I had conversations in passing about [how] the DMZ is a huge world. It's a world that's predicated on either self-reclamation or reinvention itself, which means that it's full of incredible characters. I think, in any case, the limited series is sort of four-hour movie experience is the right format for any of these other stories and I have plenty of stories to tell about the DMZ. The answer is 'absolutely.
Although the HBO Max miniseries does not literally adapt the comics' storylines, DMZ still holds true to the comic series's themes that inspired it. This is nowhere more true than in Zee's characterization. In the comics, Zee is the protagonist Matthew Roth's love interest and moral compass, but while Patino's adaptation omits Matthew and expands Zee's story, she remains the moral heart of the DMZ.
While Patino teasing future seasons shows the showrunner's desire to continue the series, there has been no official word from either Patino or HBO on DMZ season 2. Patino's words seem to be a positive indicator for the show continuing, but with mixed reviews and its marketing as a miniseries, its status is still up in the air. Still, HBO Max has yet to cancel DMZ, so fans can remain hopeful that Patino gets his chance to continue the series.
