The esteemed Ava DuVernay of Queen Sugar and Now They See Us fame, who is developing Naomi for television with Jill Blankenship (Arrow), has made a tweet about the recent announcement that The CW has ordered a Naomi TV pilot for possible inclusion in next year’s lineup.

Considering the quality of the IP and the talents involved, we here in the KSiteTV universe/NaomiDCTV.com are pretty sure that means this is going to go. Here’s what she said on Twitter:

“NAOMI was created by Brian Michael Bendis, David Walker and artist Jamal Campbell in 2019. Her last name McDuffie is a tribute to late comic writer Dwayne McDuffie. Now, she’s on her way to a pilot for The CW from yours truly and Jill Blankenship. Her journey continues. Let’s go!”

Because Wonder Girl and Painkiller weren’t enough to add to the half dozen or so DC Comics series that will still be a part of The CW lineup next year, now comes news that esteemed writer-director-producer Ava DuVernay is developing Naomi based on the comic book series written by Brian Michael Bendis and David F. Walker with art by Jamal Campbell. Naomi was a part of the Wonder Comics initiative spearheaded by Bendis in recent years.

The CW TV adaptation is being written and executive produced by DuVernay (Queen Sugar) and Jill Blankenship (Arrow) follows a teen girl’s journey from her small northwestern town to the heights of the multiverse. When a supernatural event rattles her hometown, Naomi sets out to uncover its origins. What she discovers will challenge everything people believe about superheroes.

THR notes that unlike the “Arrowverse” series, this show is not executive produced by Greg Berlanti, so it is unsure if or how this potential series will connect to the others.

The next TV season has a huge roster of DC series at the start of the season and at later “midseason,” including The Flash, Superman & Lois, Batwoman with a new series lead in Javicia Leslie, Black Lightning, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Stargirl, and Supergirl. Of those series, both Black Lightning and Supergirl have been confirmed to be ending with their upcoming seasons.
