Aquaman is one of the most well-known superheroes of all-time and certainly one of DC Comics' most popular entities. Though, the character was laughing-stock in the eyes of mainstream audiences for quite some time; the King of Atlantis proved to be a massive success at the box office back in 2018 — earning over $1 billion.
A new animated mini-series is in the works based on the DC Comics character for the HBO Max streaming service. It's said that the series will consist of three parts and be titled:
Aquaman: King of Atlantis.
Aquaman movie director James Wan is attached as an executive producer. The series will be family-oriented and tell
"stand-alone stories laced with ecological and ethical themes."
Sarah Aubrey, HBO Max head of original content, had the following to say about
Aquaman: King of Atlantis:
"This DC property is a fan-favorite, rich with well-known characters and dynamic storylines. On the heels of Warner Bros. Pictures’ box office smash hit, we are certain Aquaman: King of Atlantis will be an exciting addition to our already robust slate of kids and family programming.”

Between dealing with unscrupulous surface dwellers, elder evils from beyond time and his own half-brother who wants to overthrow him, Aquaman is going to have to rise to the challenge and prove to his subjects, and to himself, that he’s the right man for the trident!
