Just when we were marveling at CW’s impressive superhero slate coming next year, we got the news that there’s a brand new one in development! The CW is developing Wonder Girl, a brand new series featuring the hero of the same name. In a unique twist, Wonder Girl will not be Cassie Sandsmark, Donna Troy, or even a younger Wonder Woman, but will instead focus on DC Comics’ Yara Flor, who was recently revealed as a new Wonder Woman in an upcoming run written and drawn by Joëlle Jones. 

Yara Flor will make her debut as the first Latina superhero title character of a DC TV series. Her character is described by Deadline as “a Latina Dreamer who was born of an Amazonian Warrior and a Brazilian River God” and will learn that she is Wonder Girl in the series. 

The show will be written by Dailyn Rodriguez, Queen of the South executive producer and co-showrunner. In addition to Rodriguez, the series will be produced with Berlanti Prods.’ Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and David Madden. Berlanti Productions produces in association with Warner Bros. Television.

Wonder Girl will join CW’s roster of Superhero shows which includes Batwoman, Black Lightning, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Superman and Lois, Supergirl, and The Flash. No word yet on when we can expect Wonder Girl, but we can only imagine that it will be worth the wait! Let us know your thoughts below and in our forum!
