Don't worry, "Wonder Woman" fans. Even though the character's planned small screen revival has been sidelined for now, producer and writer David E. Kelley is convinced that the show will go on.
Kelley told The Hollywood Reporter that even though the project failed to land at a network this year, "Wonder Woman" could still find its way to television viewers as soon as next year.
"I think the likelihood is we'll see it next year," he said. "I'm being optimistic but I don't think I'm being unrealistic."
The television veteran added that the "Wonder Woman" script was "rolled out very late in the game," referring to last week's report that every major network passed on the project. Kelley said he would take the project back to NBC, as the network reportedly rejected the pilot due to executive reshuffling. According to Kelley, NBC would be a "good home for it."
"I like to think of it as a smart script and I know he responds to smart material," Kelley said of NBC's incoming programming chief Robert Greenblatt. He also added that his vision of "Wonder Woman" would explore the character as a "real complex woman and not just a superhero."
According to Kelley, there's a possibility that the "Wonder Woman" television series could land on a cable network. Cable has certainly worked out in terms of comic book adaptations in the past — "The Walking Dead" is AMC's biggest hit at the moment, and the FX network is close to moving forward with a "Powers" adaptation.
