Modern day Wonder Woman television show

[Primal Slayer]

If god forbid WW is given a tv show and isn't just relegated to movies, what do you think it would look like?

What kind of stories would you want season to season, who would be the supporting cast, villains, who would you cast in the roles?

[Fuzzy Mittens]

This might sound stupid, but I want a sort of prequel series prior to Diana becoming Wonder Woman that just focuses on her on the island. In a vein similar to the likes of Gotham, Smallville, and Krypton.

[I'm a Fish]

First season supporting cast: Etta, Steve, Barbara.

Oh gosh, IDK who I would pick to play them...uh, I guess Lena Headey as Barbara would be dope, honestly I would like Kristen Wiig for a modern Minerva too. Steve...IDK just grab any hot guy. Etta AHHH, I have no idea... I'm bad at fan casting... and I can't picutre anyone else as Wonder Woman but Gadot right now.

Season one plot, umm...have a rotating cast of villains I just wanna see a bunch of them...maybe have Phobos and Demos be the over arching villains for season one. I wouldn't mind more episodic story telling mixed in with an ongoing season one plot. Honestly just do Year One but Etta leading Argus and Steve working with her.

Sub plot, have Barbara cut herself with a magic Urzkartaga knife because of secret jealously, have her get powers slowly and actually help Diana out with crime fighting in the begging. Make her transformation slow, a-la The Fly remake, spread it out across 5 episodes or something, I love slow burn monster transformations. She goes full Cheetah by the end and dips off to become a full villain.

Season two, replace Barbara's missing protag spot with Julia and Venessa. Also have Villainy Inc. Introduce Donna at some point.

Season Three, Circe as the villain. Do War of the Gods, Circe, Cheetah team-up. Also bring on Cassie. Also Nubia.


And then it would end and lead to a Wonder Women tv show going full team-based on the story telling.

Honestly, I'm not very interested in that. For one thing, since Themyscira is always portrayed as this very simple society with greco roman architecture and development, there isn't much to be explored. Maybe a few monsters and I guess gods, but what else? Plus Diana really only becomes herself when she is unconstrained, and that only happens after she leaves the island.


Now, to answer the question, I think Yara Flor Wonder Girl was a perfect concept. It's an early adult which means lots of character development right out of the bat along with energy and questions. It can easily be set in our world while still acomodating the fantastic elements of Wonder Woman creeping into the light. And it creates an instant pathos to Diana as a societal figure that fascinates Yara, which allows Diana to always be in her prime. Plus the diversity factor.

I really want the Holliday Girls to be a thing. The idea of a bunch of normal women that start to train and befriend Diana and create an organization out of it has just so much potential, and it's a great way for Yara to come into contact with Diana's world without Diana always being there. Plus Etta Candy is a ball of energy and fun. I'm not quite sure what I would do with the exactly, at some level they would have to be a foundation with a women shelter, but they could also be an indepent army of activists, they could be a comune, they could be a sporting center where athletes come to show their talents, along with artists and intelectuals. They could have a museum where they collect rare magical items and they take care of them for Diana. It could be all these things combined, as a group of women that are superheroes but as an institution.

I would love for Doctor Poison to be a main villain. She is far more visually interesting than Veronica Cale, and her demented genius could be responsible for lots of other villains. I actually have this idea that the Villany Inc was created by failed experiments that seek revenge on Doctor Poison, but end up crossing paths with Diana due to the chaos they spread on their hunt.

I would bring in Priscilla Rich as Cruella Deville type that sells magical clothes in the black market and hunts mythical creatures to create these skins.

Well, most of these things have nothing to do with Yara Flor as of now, they are just Diana ideas adapted onto the show because I think Yara more easily translates to TV right now.

Not too much detail but just repurposing some ideas I made for an animated fanfic pitch.

First Season: Mix of Gods and Mortals and Year One as an origin story over the course of the first season (whole season is just somewhere between maybe 6-10 eps). Steve, Etta, pre-Cheetah Barbara, Kapatelis women as the supporting characters. Phobos, Deimos, Eris as the other appearing baddies alongside Ares.

Season 2: Godwatch/Cheetah arc. Also introduces the Bana tribe.

Season 3: Circe Witching Hour/Witching War as the plotline but just swap out the other JLD members with WW characters.

[Mutant God]

Every season theres a different Cheetah.

As a casting gag I cast actors who played members of the Justice League as the Olympian Gods:
George Newbern (Superman) as Zeus
Kevin Conroy (Batman) as Hades
Susan Eisenberg (Wonder Woman) as Hera
Michael Rosenbaum (Flash) as Hermes
Phil LaMarr (Green Lantern) as Apollo
Maria Canals (Hawkgirl) as Artemis
Carl Lumbly (Martian Manhunter) as Hephaestus
John DiMaggio (Aquaman) as Poseidon

[Primal Slayer]

Starting it out with my incomplete cast


Payton List as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman
Lucy Lawless as Queen Hippolyta
Lindsay Morgan as Donna Troy
William Mosley as Steve Trevor
Nafessa Williams as Nubia
Natasha Rothwell as Etta Candy
Jamie Murray as Circe
Karl Urabn as Ares

S1 - It would definitely be an origin story (bullets&bracelets) w/flashbacks throughout the season to Themiscryia.

Recently, I've mused what it might be like, if an old mansion on Holliday College's campus served, as Diana's Daily Planet or Batcave. What's needed, from where I'm standing, are some visually iconic sets and buildings, representing important and easily recognizable locales in the comic. Very cool, I think, that Diana's base-op in the comic and the proposed show is a place-of-learning, ..if only because it is such a detour from the somewhat generic charms of the Cave and 'the Planet' newsroom.

Your idea pushes beyond the superficial of what I imagined.

I think of watching Diana, surrounded by young passion, faith and optimism - of how that might influence her approach to fighting an unending war against darkness. I can imagine characters, in her campus community, being horrified, after having watched her behead an enemy on live TV - being angry with and confronting with her, for something like that, ..and how hurtful that would be to Diana, ..who might cry herself to sleep, over it.

I can imagine the emotional roller coaster ride, basing her at a college, might be - letting down a young woman, who had a crush on her, ..comforting another, experiencing a trauma ..or a failure ..or a hard break-up, ..sending another off to war, in the US military! Imagine Diana's emotional investment, in all of them, through her friendship, with Etta, ..and you find the heart of the show. For that reason, I really like the idea of the Holliday Girls and Holliday College being semi-regular (every other episode) or recurring characters in the show!

Imagine them all pulling together to stand by her side, against Circe or Villainy, Inc. ..or to rescue her and Etta, from enslavement, in a weird dimension, like the Atom Galaxy! I think it would make this new WW show, a must-watch event, every week!

With Etta being regular, technically we've got someone, as with Diana and the Amazons, reminding us of them, every episode. The Holliday Girls would be overnight sensations! America...the world, even, ..would embrace these brave, vulnerable, misguided, inspiring girls, as our daughters. We would see the best and worst of ourselves, in them, and we would love Diana for how she supported, loved and was inspired by them. As I type this, I feel, as though I've just watched an episode, in my brain - literally fanning off of the fumes of your concept! Wow! Amazing!

Now, imagine the WW comic tying into a show, like that. The WW comic would never be the same. Great post!

Your original post wast short, but now I noticed you edited it and added a lot. Yes I think this is what the Holliday Girls should be for in the comics. For Diana to come into contact with the lives of various women, but also a place for these women to evolve. Imagine a College Campus that is also a public foundation and a comune for an alternate societal structure. Women could come there and be trained to fight by Diana herself. There could be Olympic athletes competing against each other and maybe even with magical creatures and beings in the mix. It could be science center where special guest come to study the magical artifacts kept there and where they try to recreate amazonian technology. It could have public performance events for conceptual artists where people get to be a part of it. It's a true cultural center but run by a Non Governmental organization of women Diana has saved and befriended from all around the world. And lots of villains would have reasons to want to attack this place, or the various people Diana gets to meet there could send her on missions to stop a threat on the other side of the planet.

Not stupid at all.
There is huge potential for great adventures, great drama, and great character moments.
A few years back there were rumours of a Young-Diana-type prequel TV show set on Themyscira being pitched (I think the working title was simply "amazon")...
