It seems things will be a little less wondrous at The CW as the network has decided to not move forward with a proposed Wonder Girl series.
Announced in Nov. 2020, The CW was working on a new Wonder Girl series from Dailyn Rodriguez (Queen of the South) and Berlanti Productions, As opposed to the well-known Donna Troy version of Wonder Girl, this series would have focused on the all-new Amazonian, Yara Flor.
Flor is a new character that was recently introduced in the comics and is the daughter of an Amazonian Warrior and a Brazilian River God. She learns that she is the new Wonder Girl and begins using her powers to take on whatever evil she comes up against.
Rodriguez shared an update on Friday via her Twitter account, but it was not good news. “So some sad news. For all of those asking, Wonder Girl is not getting picked up at the CW. I was very proud of the script I wrote. Wish I could’ve shared the world I created, but unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be. Thanks for everyone’s enthusiasm. It meant a lot to me.”

While some fans have inquired as to whether the series could potentially be shopped to another outlet such as HBO Max, no information has been made available at this time.
The CW announced earlier in the week that it is moving forward with a pilot for Naomi from Ava DuVernay, as well as a live-action sequel to the Powerpuff Girls.
