Television

Unbroadcast / unproduced

  • In 1967, William Dozier, producer/writer of the Adam West Batman TV series produced a five-minute short titled Who's Afraid of Diana Prince?, intended as a proof of concept for a potential Wonder Woman TV series. The short reimagines the concept as a fantasy sitcom, with Ellie Wood Walker as mousy, meek Diana Prince who, when she looks into a mirror, envisions herself as a comic-accurate rendition of Wonder Woman, played by Linda Harrison. The short ends with the revelation that Diana actually does have the power of flight. No series came to fruition.[1]
  • Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman producer Deborah Joy LeVine attempted to do a Wonder Woman TV series in 1999 for NBC. The character was stated to be "a Greek history professor, a young and very bright woman having a hard time juggling her personal life with her work".[2]
  • A pilot for a potential TV series was produced in 2011. The pilot was written by David E. Kelley and stars Adrianne Palicki as Diana/Wonder Woman. As of 2021, the pilot has yet to be televised, though a workprint without completed special effects has circulated for years.
  • In 2012, The CW, Warner Bros. Television and DC Comics were developing a new origin story for Wonder Woman called Amazon.[3] A year later, the network pushed the pilot back until the 2014/15 season.[4] The same year in May, the show was still in development, with a new script by Aron Eli Coleite, replacing Allan Heinberg, who wrote the previous script for the planned pilot,[5] but in July, The Flash, by Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg was fast-tracked instead. Mark Pedowitz said that Amazon was delayed because they wanted a right script and interpretation for Wonder Woman.[6] The project was canceled in early 2014, as Pedowitz confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter: "We did not go forward with it [...] it all depends on the script. We were very careful with Arrow, and we're being very careful with Flash [...] these are iconic characters, so we're going to be very careful with Wonder Woman. You only get one shot before you get bit".[7] Pedowitz later said in August 2017 that the success of the feature film has killed any current attempts to bring the Amazonian warrior to the small screen on their channel.[8]

Film

DC Extended Universe

Gal Gadot portrays Diana Prince in films set in the shared universe the DC Extended Universe, making her debut in the 2016 film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (directed by Zack Snyder). Gadot reprises her role in her solo 2017 film Wonder Woman (directed by Patty Jenkins), Justice League (directed by Joss Whedon), and the latter film's director cut (directed by Zack Snyder). A sequel to Wonder Woman titled Wonder Woman 1984 (directed by Jenkins) was released in 2020. In the animated end credits sequence in the 2019 film Shazam!, Wonder Woman was seen punching a subdued villain before riding in the Batmobile with Shazam. Wonder Woman made an appearance in the Peacemaker season finale episode "It's Cow or Never", portrayed by stand-in Kimberley Von Ilberg.[9] Gadot made uncredited cameo appearances in Shazam! Fury of the Gods and The Flash. A third Wonder Woman was due to begin production with Jenkins once again directing but was cancelled following the restructuring of DC Studios and Jenkins' departure. A Wonder Woman spin-off The Amazons was also suggested by Jenkins, but was soon shelved as well.[10][11][12]

DC Universe

In June 2025, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn announced that a new Wonder Woman film set in the DC Universe (DCU) franchise was in development.[13]
