According to
The Los Angeles Times, Warner Bros. has found their lead for NBC's upcoming live-action
Wonder Woman series. Adrianne Palicki, whose credits include
Friday Night Lights,
Red Dawn will star in the pilot from David E. Kelley.
The series pilot is a reinvention of the iconic DC Comics title in which Wonder Woman – a.k.a. Diana Prince – is a vigilante crime fighter in Los Angeles but also a successful corporate executive and a modern woman trying to balance all of the elements of her extraordinary life.
Palicki won the role of Wonder Woman being the only actress invited to test for it. And the pilot series will reunite Palicki with the director Jeff Reiner who she worked with on
Friday Night Lights for the series' early run on NBC.
