DC’s ‘Waller’ and Wonder Woman Prequel ‘Paradise Lost’ Series Not in Priority Development
The "Waller" series would find Viola Davis reprising her role from "The Suicide Squad" The post DC’s ‘Waller’ and Wonder Woman Prequel ‘Paradise Lost’ Series Not in Priority Development appeared first on TheWrap .
The DC Studios television series "Waller" and its prequel "Paradise Lost" are no longer in primary development, TheWrap reports. Despite initial announcements several years ago, James Gunn and Peter Safran, the co-chairmen and co-CEOs of DC Studios, have emphasized that plans within the DC cinematic universe may change as their new vision unfolds.
Viola Davis is set to reprise her role as Amanda Waller in a television series centered on the character from "Suicide Squad" and "Peacemaker." "Paradise Lost" aimed to serve as a prequel to the "Wonder Woman" series, but both have since taken a backseat to other projects in the DC pipeline. DC Studios is concentrating on the upcoming release of the TV series "Lanterns" and the Jimmy Olsen series, with a writers room established for "Lanterns" Season 2.
While the "Catwoman" series was once discussed, it never received official consideration. The news comes after TheWrap's exclusive report about the revamp of "Booster Gold" at DC Studios, with creator David Jenkins revealing that his version of the series will move forward with a new creative team despite initially being shelved at HBO Max.
The ongoing focus on superhero television has led to the cancellation of "Wonder Woman" prequel "Wonder Man," despite a Season 2 renewal and an Emmy nomination for Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.
