Wonder Woman Series May Not Be Happening

Remember that new Wonder Woman series that was being developed for ABC with David E. Kelley as the helmer?

It was initially reported as pretty much being a slam dunk.

But now it appears that it may not be the sure thing we once thought it was.

Speaking to Zap2It, Kelley said that while he’s developing ideas for the show, he’s not officially doing it yet.

There’s no real deal in place yet, but yeah, my intent is to take a stab at it. I’ve been working on it between scripts for [his new series] Harry’s Law. It’s a very, very different genre for me, a very tricky beast. I won’t know whether I’ve cracked it or not until I’ve finished it, but it’s going,” he says.

“At the beginning, there was a little bit of that, but we quickly made it known that was premature. I haven’t necessarily committed to doing it yet. I’m at the point where I’m trying to figure out if I can make the franchise work for me.”

Kelley goes on to say that he if doesn’t feel good about the project, he will make sure executive at Warner Brothers know.

“If I feel I can make the characters my own and it’s a world rich enough for me to revisit, that’s a good sign to me that it’s a series worth doing,” he says.
