Ava DuVernay developing adaptation of DC’s Naomi for The CW

December 8, 2020 by Gary Collinson

It seems that the New Gods movie and the upcoming DMZ TV series aren’t the only DC projects on Ava DuVernay’s slate, as DC Entertainment has announced that the Oscar-nominated filmmaker is developing a TV adaptation of the recent series Naomi from DC’s Wonder Comics imprint.

The CW – home to the Arrowverse of DC TV shows – has given a script development deal for an hour-long drama series based upon the comic book by creators Brian Michael Bendis, David Walker and Jamal Campbell, with DuVernay writing and executive producing alongside Jill Blankenship.

The official logline for the potential Naomi series reads:

Naomi follows a teen girl’s journey from her small northwestern town to the heights of the multiverse. When a supernatural event shakes her hometown to the core, Naomi sets out to uncover its origins, and what she discovers will challenge everything we believe about our heroes.
