Breaking news alert! Just in time for them to talk about this ad infinitum at Comic-Con, Deadline exclusively reports

HBO Max is progressing with its Booster Gold TV series and has attached Our Flag Means Death creator David Jenkins to write the pilot.

And we can be reasonably certain that it is true because Jenkins posted about it on Instagram.

Now, ray of sunshine that I am, I'm inclined to point out that this is at least the third announced writer for the current iteration of a Booster Gold series which has been in the works at Warner Bros since *checks notes* 2011. And they are still working on hammering out a single pilot episode. I will, as they say, believe it when I see it.

But that's just me being grumpy.

I'll concede that having a writer working on the project is certainly more promising than having no writer. So adjust your own hopes and dreams accordingly.

(Thanks to Rob Snow, whose emails inspired me to go ahead and post this news before I get any grumpier from the inevitable tidal wave of unfounded Internet speculation this announcement will unleash.)
