One well-known TV writer is venturing where some of Hollywood's finest scriptwriters fear to pen.

David E. Kelley (whose credits include Ally McBeal, Boston Public and The Practice) is working on a new Wonder Woman script which will re-launch the franchise in TV.

Kelley has inked a deal with Warner Brothers to bring the superheroine to the small screen—and things look promising. Kelley has a lot of TV clout, a clever way to with dialogue and a string of successful series to his credit.

Wonder Woman was previously the subject of her own TV series in the late 1970s. Lynda Carter became known as the iconic Wonder Woman of that era.

Another series was attempted in the 1990s,this time with Deborah Joy LeVine penning the script (her work includes Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman), but the project was scrapped during casting of the title character.
