Adrianne Palicki Will Be ‘Wonder Woman’

Adrianne Palicki has landed the coveted role of Wonder Woman.

The new NBC version had David E. Kelley running the show which will be a nod to the 70s TV show starring Lynda Carter but will not be a campy send up.

Kelley’s update of Diana Prince will feature her lasso, invisible plane and cuffs but put her in the modern business world as a corporate executive and crime fighter. ( Read Adrianne Palicki more... )

Adrianne Palicki: Flying high, here's network-TV's new WONDER WOMAN... [Updated]

And the winner in the casting sweepstakes to play TV's next Wonder Woman is...

Adrianne Palicki of "Friday Night Lights" fame. So says Warner Bros., in announcing that the not-blond-for-long actress has won the titular role in David E. Kelly's series pilot for NBC's "Wonder Woman."

Kelley -- famed for such legal-eagle shows as "Ally McBeal," "Boston Legal" and NBC's "Harry's Law" -- remakes the Amazon as a crimefighter on the streets of Los Angeles. (Because nothing beats back the Southland baddies like bulletproof bracelets and animal telepathy.) No official word yet on whether she'll adopt the new costume [right] that DC created last year for the comic-book Diana Prince. ( Read Adrianne Palicki more... )

Adrianne Palicki: Wonder Woman In David E. Kelley's TV Reboot

It's a tough job, casting someone to be the most beautiful (and ass-kicking) woman in the universe, but David E. Kelley has found his Wonder Woman: Adrianne Palicki.

Kelley, the "Ally McBeal" and "Boston Legal" creator who inked a deal with NBC in October to bring the iconic DC Comics character back to television for the first time since the 70's, cast Palicki, best known for her star turn in "Friday Night Lights," as his heroine. And she'll have to be something of a real superhuman to pull off all that he'll be asking of her. ( Read Adrianne Palicki more... )

NBC Reveals New 'Wonder Woman' Is Adrianne Palicki

NBC released a wonderful bit of casting news today: 'Friday Night Lights' alum Adrianne Palicki is set to play the title role (and two alter-egos) in David E. Kelley's buzzed about 'Wonder Woman' reboot.

Kelley reportedly has a lot of work to do on the script, but Wonder Woman will have to do some serious heavy lifting of her own.

Adrianne Palicki is the new Wonder Woman

If you’re scratching your head at the casting, don’t. Palicki, who may only be a familiar name and face to some, is a fantastic choice to play the iconic DC Comics superhero, with four seasons of NBC/DirecTV’s Friday Night Lights under her belt. (She also recently returned for the critically praised but ratings challenged series’ finale earlier this month.)

On the Texas-set drama from Peter Berg, Palicki played Tyra Collette, a hard-nosed trashy townie who, with the help of guidance counselor Tami Taylor (Connie Britton), takes control of her life and eventually departs Dillon for college. Like just about every actor on FNL, Palicki was pitch perfect: fun and playful and when her character cleaned up, the actress delivered in grand fashion with a newfound sense of innocence that she paired brilliantly with the self-doubt of a high school student finally exploring her potential.
