CW's Wonder Girl

Quote:

The network is developing Wonder Girl, a drama series based on the DC characters created by Joëlle Jones. It hails from Queen of the South executive producer/co-showrunner Dailyn Rodriguez and Berlanti Productions.

Written by Rodriguez, Wonder Girl centers on Yara Flor, a Latina Dreamer who was born of an Amazonian Warrior and a Brazilian River God, learns that she is Wonder Girl. With her newfound power must fight the evil forces that would seek to destroy the world.

This would mark the first Latina superhero title character of a DC TV series. Rodriguez, who is the daughter of Cuban immigrants, is executive producing with Berlanti Prods.’ Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and David Madden. Berlanti Productions produces in association with Warner Bros. Television.

The series tells the backstory/origin story of the DC Comics character of Yara Flor, who was recently revealed as a new Wonder Woman. In addition to the Future State Wonder Woman with adult Yara Flor as Wonder Woman, DC concurrently is publishing the Wonder Girl comic series written and drawn by Jones.

At the CW, Wonder Girl will be looking to join Berlanti Prods’ existing DC Universe, which includes Batwoman, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, The Flash, the upcoming Superman and Lois, Supergirl — which will be wrapping its run with the upcoming sixth season — and Black Lightning.

Batwoman and Black Lightning, respectively, introduced the first gay lead character — male or female — and the first Black lead of a live-action DC superhero series.

This is one of two famous Warner Bros.-controlled IPs Berlanti Prods. is developing as a series for the CW this season, along with The Powerpuff Girls.

Rodriguez has been co-running USA’s Queen of the South for the past two seasons as part of an overall deal with series producer Touchstone TV. While her studio pact ended last month, she has made a new deal to continue co-running the show — whose production was disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic — through the end of Season 5. Filming on the fifth season recently resumed in New Orleans.

Rodriguez joined Queen of the South in Season 2 as a co-executive producer and No. 2 to then-showrunner Natalie Chaidez and was elevated to exec producer and co-showrunner at the start of Season 4. With Rodriguez and Ben Lobato at the helm, Queen of the South ranks as USA’s most-watched and highest-rated original scripted series. Rodriguez is repped by Rothman Brecher Ehrich Livingston and attorney Darren Trattner.

Seems like an odd choice considering this version of Wonder Girl has yet to make her comics debut. Would rather have gotten a series focusing on Cassie.

They are doing this version cause it fits the CW diversity moniker . Check off them boxes

Pure, hot woke garbage.

so guess that Green Arrow and the Canaries show isn't happening since they announced this and painkiller recently

I still don't understand how these shows keep getting made. I thought Flash and Supergirl was pushing it and now there's like 5 more. Who is honestly watching all these shows?

I really miss the days when I thought CW superhero shows were awesome.

you asked this in the painkiller thread and you were told there are tons of fans of these show. I watch 4-5 of these shows. I know it boggles your mind that some shows have fans but they do.

This x1000

Yeah, seriously. How dumb.

God forbid Donna Troy get a show, or even Cassie Sandsmark.

Of course, Cassie would NEVER get a show, because she's straight, white, and blonde. :roll: That means her costume may as well be a white sheet, according to the Wokesters who hold all the pens nowadays.

Junk.

So some sad news. For all of those asking, Wonder Girl is not getting picked up at the CW. I was very proud of the script I wrote. Wish I could’ve shared the world I created, but unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be. Thanks for everyone’s enthusiasm. It meant a lot to me.
