“Friday Night Lights” Actress Books “Wonder Woman,” Michael Emerson Gets Pilot

Her 2010-11 series “Lonestar” fizzled quickly, but “Friday Night Lights” alum Adrianne Palicki is not leaving the television game. Multiple sources reported Wednesday that the actress has booked the title role in David E. Kelley’s “Wonder Woman” revival.

Set up at NBC, the updated “Wonder Woman” features Diana Prince, its central character, balancing her superhero status with a successful career as a corporate executive.

Deadline says that Palicki was the only actress invited to test for the part, so she was beyond an internal favorite for the role.

— With his anticipated pilot collaboration with fellow “Lost” star Terry O’Quinn delayed, Michael Emerson has moved onto another project–and it also reunites him with “Lost” executive producer JJ Abrams. Emerson will star in the CBS pilot “Person of Interest” as a billionaire who teams with a presumed-dead ex-CIA agent to fight crime in New York City. Abrams is executive producing.

  1. The B.A. in Criminal Justice provides a baseline that I think helps anyone going into law enforcement develop the much-needed critical thinking skills. search for “United Forensic College”. Today, a degree is pretty much required if you want to move into supervision and management.
