‘Wonder Woman’ Television Series Gets Pilot Greenlight at NBC. The Wonder Woman pilot script is brought to life with greenlight at NBC. The writer, David E. Kelley revealed optimism about the Amazon princess' chances on television, and his suspicions were confirmed when NBC picked up the pilot last week.

The Wonder Woman news is characterized by industry observers as a surprise given recent turnarounds in NBC management, but the success of Kelley's Harry's Law on the network apparently hastened the decision to produce the pilot based on the DC Comics heroine.

NBC, along with many other networks, initially passed on the series. But now, new NBC entertainment president Bob Greenblatt picked up Kelly’s pilot as well as several others. The series is described as a reinvention of the D.C. Comic’s icon in which Wonder Woman — aka Diana Prince — is a vigilante crime fighter in L.A., but also a successful corporate executive and a modern woman trying to balance all of the elements of her extraordinary life.

Wonder Woman -- aka Diana Prince -- is a vigilante crime fighter in L.A. but also a successful corporate executive and a modern woman trying to balance all of the elements of her extraordinary life.

A previous meeting of Princess Diana and the medium television in the 1970s was a major success for everyone involved, not least of which being star Lynda Carter, who remains a beloved figure in pop culture and fans' most popular choice to play Queen Hippolyta, Diana's mother, in any live action project based on the characters. 

According to Comicsalliance.com "It will be interesting to see how this new project plays out, and whether the Wonder Woman pilot will be picked up as a series. In the meantime, you can get your live-action Wonder Woman fix in A Date with Diana, courtesy of Funny or Die."
