The first trailer and a new poster for DMZ are now online.
The HBO Max limited series is set to premiere on March 17, and stars Rosario Dawson (Daredevil, Sin City) as a medic named Alma Ortega who enters the dangerous landscape of the near-future Manhattan, which has become a treacherous demilitarized zone.

The 4-part series is an adaptation of the DC Comic of the same name, and has Ava DuVernay on board as director and producer alongside Westworld executive producer Robert Patino.

In the near future, America is embroiled in a bitter civil war, leaving Manhattan a demilitarized zone (DMZ), destroyed and isolated from the rest of the world. Leaping off the pages of the popular comic, “DMZ” chronicles the harrowing journey of fearless and fierce medic Alma Ortega (series star Rosario Dawson), who sets out on a harrowing journey to find the son she lost in the evacuation of New York City at the onset of the conflict. Throwing gasoline on the flames of that conflict is Parco Delgado (series star Benjamin Bratt), the popular — and deadly — leader of one of the most powerful gangs in the DMZ. He wants to rule this new world — and will stop at nothing to secure that outcome. In this adrenalized and expansive drama that examines a stark political and cultural divide in American society, Alma must contend with the gangs, militias, demagogues, and warlords that control this lawless no man’s land. In doing so, she becomes the unlikely source of what everyone here has lost: hope.
