Should the pilot indeed secure a series order, this marks DuVernay’s second DC series with Warner Bros. Television, after HBO Max greenlit the Rosario Dawson-led DMZ miniseries last year.
The pilot will be led by Kaci Walfall (Army Wives, Power), who has been tapped to portray the superhero role of Naomi.
Popular with all the kids in her military town, Naomi is unafraid to embrace her AP-student, comic book–loving nerdiness.
The potential series is written and executive produced by the Selma director Ava DuVernay and Arrow alum Jill Blankenship.
