Wonder Girl is Not Getting Picked Up by The CW

Last week it was announced by The CW they had ordered pilots of a few new series, DC’s Naomi being one of them. This left up in the air the future of a few series being worked on, including DC’s Wonder Girl. Executive producer/co-showrunner Dailyn Rodriguez went to Twitter a few days after the announcement to reveal that Wonder Girl was not going forward at The CW. It was revealed in November 2020 that the series was being worked on and a possibility. Wonder Girl was being developed by Rodriguez and Berlanti Productions.
The character is based on the DC character created by Joëlle Jones and debuted in comics as part of DC’s Future State event in early 2021. She is spinning out of the event to get her own comic series later this year. This would be the first Latina lead of a DC television series.
Wonder Girl centers on Yara Flor, a Latina Dreamer who was born of an Amazonian Warrior and a Brazilian River God. She learns that she’s Wonder Girl and with her newfound power fights evil forces that seek to destroy the world.
Rodriguez’s Tweet would indicate the project is completely over without a chance of it moving to HBO Max, the other home for DC live-action and animated projects. We’ll see if that changes if the comic series goes over big.
