Story wise, the live action series will tell the origin story of Jackson &#8220;Jake&#8221; Hyde, a gay teen living in New Mexico who always had always been drawn to the water and strongly desires to escape the desert environment he has grown accustomed to. As he learns and hones his aquatic powers, he also finds himself falling for the captain of his high school&#8217;s swim team, Kenny Liu. <strong><em>Mad Max<\/em><\/strong> star <strong>Charlize Theron<\/strong> will be producing the project. Writing teams, director, and the like have not been announced at this time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the meantime, fans of <strong>Aqualad<\/strong> can catch him on <strong><em>Young Justice<\/em><\/strong>, which is currently streaming on HBO Max, and in the titular comics which are connected to the show. For season four subtitled as <em><strong>Phantoms<\/strong><\/em>, fans can rest assured that they will be able to find him in there as well, since DC Comics has also announced that they will be continuing the show&#8217;s comic books, with the <em>Phantoms<\/em> tie-in, <strong><em>Young Justice: Targets<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2022\/tv\/news\/hbo-max-aqualad-you-brought-me-the-ocean-charlize-theron-1235228645\/\">Variety<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nThe Young Justice star offers fans a deep dive into his past with his own new series.\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=41611\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;The Depths of the Seas and the DC Universe Expands with a new Aqualad series now in Development&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":103,"featured_media":41612,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[6],"tags":[5961,196,796],"class_list":["post-41611","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-film-tv","tag-aqualad","tag-dc-comics","tag-young-justice","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Depths of the Seas and the DC Universe Expands with a new Aqualad series now in Development - The Cultured Nerd<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=41611\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Depths of the Seas and the DC Universe Expands with a new Aqualad series now in Development - The Cultured Nerd\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Young Justice star offers fans a deep dive into his past with his own new series.
