Friday Night Lights star Adrianne Palicki has been tapped to take on the role of Wonder Woman in the pilot being shot for NBC.Palicki will take on the iconic role, last played by Lynda Carter in the 1970s series, in the David E. Kelley pilot, which follows Diana Prince as she attempts to balance life as a modern woman and an Amazonian crime fighter.
Palicki's star has been on the rise, with top billing in the recent Fox series Lone Star, as well as a spot in the upcoming remake of Red Dawn.
