Wonder Woman Series Being Developed for CW

The CW is developing a series called "Amazon", a prequel of sorts, for "Wonder Woman".

The show will follow the story of her alter ego, Diana of Themyscira, who is a warrior princess of the Amazons and proficient fighter. It will be an origin story, much like "Smallville" was for Superman.

The script will be written by Allan Heinger (Grey's Anatomy).
