Adrianne Palicki is the new Wonder Woman

When NBC announced they had picked up David E Kelly’s Wonder Woman script for a TV show it came at a bit of a surprise and left fans wondering who could play the most iconic female role in DC comics.

The title role has gone to Adrianne Palicki (Friday Night Lights TV Show) who looks to be an amazing choice for the TV adaptation.

The official press release as follows.

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. Kelley and Bill D’Elia (Boston Legal, The Practice) are the executive producers. The pilot was written by Kelley and will be directed by Jeffrey Reiner (NBC’s The Event). Wonder Woman is from David E. Kelley Productions and Warner Bros. Television.
