Director Ava DuVernay is adapting DC Comics' Naomi into a live-action television series for The CW. Naomi was created by writers Brian Michael Bendis and David F. Walker, and artist Jamal Campbell.
According to Deadline, DuVernay will write and executive produce the Naomi project alongside Arrow writer and co-executive producer Jill Blankenship. The series is described as following "a teen girl's journey from her small northwestern town to the heights of the multiverse. When a supernatural event shakes her hometown to the core, Naomi sets out to uncover its origins, and what she discovers will challenge everything we believe about our heroes."
A Naomi series would join upcoming DC projects based on DC Comics properties such as Painkiller, a spinoff of Black Lightning, which is set to conclude with its fourth season, and Wonder Girl, the publisher's first post-Future State comic series.
Naomi was one of the first titles to launch under Bendis' Wonder Comics imprint, which also saw the relaunch of the fan-favorite Young Justice comic. A brief encounter with Superman in her small town of Port Oswego, Oregon sent Naomi on her origin story. Throughout her miniseries, Naomi learned her parents came from another Earth in the DC Multiverse, and also discovered she has extraordinary powers. Naomi eventually joined Young Justice and is set to have a second volume of her self-titled comic by Bendis, Walker and Campbell at some point in the future.
