The CW is developing a Wonder Girl series based on Yara Flor, the Brazilian Amazon who'll soon take center stage as part of DC Future State as the new Wonder Woman.
According to Deadline, the show will center on Flor, "a Latina Dreamer who was born of an Amazonian Warrior and a Brazilian River God, learns that she is Wonder Girl, and with her newfound power must fight the evil forces that would seek to destroy the world." Dailyn Rodriguez will serve as executive producer and co-showrunner, along with Berlanti Productions' Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and David Madden. It's also worth noting the series will exist within the Arrowverse, recently dubbed the CWverse.
"Yara does have some connection to the Amazons, and part of what we'll discover in her origin is what activates her position, what makes her Wonder Woman at this time," Superman Group Editor Jamie S. Rich said of Flor in relation to DC Future State, an upcoming publishing initiative that will explore the future of the DC Universe. "She's from Brazil, but was an immigrant to America. There's also that element of her story. Even though we'll see her currently active as Wonder Woman, eventually we'll learn what her origin is - partially her figuring out what that means, where she's from, why this is her, how she relates to Diana, how she relates to the other Amazons."
Wonder Girl has yet to receive a premiere date.
