The first season of the Australian-American superhero series Silverman premiered on September 14, 2029, on HBO Max and consists of ten episodes. A spin-off of School Warrior, the series follows Noah Mad as he attempts to rebuild his life after the fallout of the Velocity crises. Combining StarkTech augmentation, unstable alchemical energy, and Noah’s fractured history, the season explores his evolution into the vigilante known as Silverman while exposing a new wave of black-market meta-technology spreading through Midvale City.
Created by Sara Case, the series exists within the broader Warriorverse continuity, with recurring appearances from characters introduced in School Warrior, including Miles Porter, Emily Styles, and Tony Stark. Production began in November 2028 and concluded in July 2029.
Silverman received positive reviews for its tone, performances, grounded pacing, and expansion of the Warriorverse outside of speedster-focused storytelling.

| 1 | 1 | "Pilot" | Sara Case | Sara Case | September 14, 2029 | SLM.101 |
| Noah Mad test-flies the unstable Silverman Mk I over New Century City, improvising wild aerial maneuvers and barely saving a crashing military drone before hearing a mysterious voice hijack his HUD, leading him to glimpse a shadow-armored figure lurking in the clouds. As Noah returns to his workshop, exhausted and doubting himself, Helio detects an unauthorized armor signature identical in power to Silverman’s, pushing Noah into an investigation that explodes into chaos when a warehouse is destroyed with tech matching his own. While rescuing civilians, Noah is ambushed by a terrifying dark-tech opponent — the Nightmare Pilot — who claims Tony Stark ignored him and mocks Noah as a child wearing scraps; the shadow armor absorbs Noah’s weapons and nearly kills him in a brutal aerial and rooftop fight. Broken and bleeding, Noah is pushed by Helio to stop comparing himself to Tony and stand up as who he is, triggering a desperate manual override that unleashes raw, imperfect Silverman firepower and forces the Nightmare Pilot into retreat. But in a hidden facility, the villain is dragged before the true mastermind — the Engineer — who reveals Noah’s evolution is part of his design, setting the stage for a deeper conspiracy as Noah, bruised and barely standing, vows he’s “not done” becoming the hero he needs to be. | ||||||

HBO Max announced Silverman in June 2028 following the strong reception to Noah Mad’s expanded role in School Warrior season four. Sara Case was attached as showrunner, with Mob Productions and SOI Studios returning as primary production partners. Case described the show as a “grounded, tech-noir corner of the Warriorverse.”
Filming began in November 2028 in Adelaide and Midvale City sets, concluding in July 2029.
Writing[edit | edit source]
The writers’ room emphasized Noah’s traumatic history, guilt, Stark-era ties, and the fusion of moral, technological, and alchemical forces. The season was structured around a ten-episode serialized arc focusing on Noah’s rise as Silverman and the emergence of black-market meta-tech across the city.
