The CW's "Wonder Woman" Prequel Lives
by Lynette Rice and James Hibberd
May 16 2013

The famous amazon may still fly on network TV. The CW Topper Mark Pedowitz told reporters after the network’s upfront presentation today that the "Wonder Woman" prequel dubbed "Amazon" remains in development, even though it didn’t make the cut for fall.

“Oh God yes,” Pedowitz replied, when asked whether the project was still alive. “It’s being redeveloped. We don’t want to produce something” that doesn’t do the franchise justice. It’s the trickiest of all the DC characters.”

"Wonder Woman" Prequel "Amazon" Dead at CW
1/15/14
by Lesley Goldberg

The CW is no longer developing "Wonder Woman" prequel "Amazon" -- at least not right now.

"Amazon" was poised to explore the origin story of Wonder Woman's alter-ego Diana of Themyscira. The network first announced in September 2012 that it was teaming with "Grey's Anatomy's" Allan Heinberg to develop the story.

The script was redeveloped in May with "Heroes" writer Aron Eli Coleite taking a new stab at the story, and the network was poised to take the project to pilot for a potential off-cycle pickup.

But that will no longer happen.

"We did not go forward with it," CW president Mark Pedowitz told The Hollywood Reporter following his Wednesday session at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour.

While "Amazon" will not move forward, Pedowitz was open to taking a second stab at the iconic Wonder Woman character if the right material were to come along but as for now, bringing the character back to TV will not happen.

"It all depends on the script. We were very careful with Arrow and we're being very careful with Flash," Pedowitz said of the Stephen Amell series and Grant Gustin "Flash" pilot in the works at the network.

"These are iconic characters so we're going to be very careful with Wonder Woman. You only get one shot before you get bit."

I'd rather see a Wonder Woman live action movie than a live action TV show. Lynda Carter already did a wonderful job with that!
