NBC Passes on Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman is dead… at least as far as a new TV series is concerned. EW.com reports that NBC is passing on picking up the pilot to series.
Perhaps no pilot this year got more attention than Wonder Woman, which obviously was a very well-known property. But the buzz had been bad from the start, with a lot of major criticism from those who read the script on the portrayal of the character and very negative reaction to the costume photos released early on. Writer/producer David E. Kelley (Boston Legal, Ally McBeal) always seemed an odd fit for the character, and word is reaction to test screenings of the pilot were decidedly mixed.
Kelley will continue on with Harry's Law, which NBC has just renewed. And comic book fans will now likely breathe easier and hope that Wonder Woman gets another shot on TV or film in the not too distant future, with a more appropriate creator attached.
