(HMG Celebrity News) – NBC has announced that Adrianne Palicki (Friday Night Lights, Lone Star) will star in the title role of “Wonder Woman,” a new series pilot from David E. Kelley, known for his legal-eagle shows.

The series pilot is a reinvention of the iconic DC Comics title in which Wonder Woman is a vigilante crime fighter in Los Angeles but she’ll also play her alter-ego, billionaire CEO Diana Themyscira and Diana’s mousy assistant Diana Prince, as she tries to balance all of the elements of her extraordinary life. The pilot was written by Kelley (“Boston Legal,” “Ally McBeal,” NBC’s “Harry’s Law”) and will be directed by Jeffrey Reiner (NBC’s “The Event”).

The original TV Wonder Woman Lynda Carter, has already tweeted her congratulations to Palicki saying, “Congratulations Adrianne!”
