  • A four-and-a-half-minute pilot reel was produced by Greenway Productions in 1967 — planned as an ultra-campy Sitcom, with Wonder Woman (Ellie Wood Walker) as a delusional single girl who imagines herself a beautiful superhero. It was never aired, but can now be seen here.
  • Wonder Woman (1974): A TV-movie pilot starring Cathy Lee Crosby as a (mostly) non-powered Wonder Woman who earned the nickname "Blonder Woman". The film was based upon a period in the comics when Diana had given up her superpowers and instead worked as an Emma Peel-esque crimefighter, though by the time it aired Wonder Woman had become a superhero again in the comics. Failed to sell as a Modesty Blaise-style TV series, so a do-over was ordered resulting in…
  • Wonder Woman: The 1975-79 show starring Lynda Carter. A more faithful adaptation of the comics, it is dated, particularly its early episodes set in World War II, but fondly remembered. And Lynda Carter managed an eerie resemblance to the original character as drawn by Gibson Girl artist Harry G. Peter.
  • Wonder Woman (2011): An attempted pilot for NBC's 2011 season by David E. Kelley, focusing on Wonder Woman fairly established in Man's World and running the Themyscira Corporation to get her word out in between fighting crime, starring Adrianne Palicki as Diana. It wasn't picked up, and fans weren't happy with what word leaked out — partially because Diana seemed to be a Dark Age hero set loose in a Silver Age world, complained about the size of her breasts, and straight up murdered security guards.
  • Amazon: In light of the success of the CW's Arrow, the network looked at developing possible Smallville-like approach to Wonder Woman, focusing on her teenage years and her emergence into the world outside Themyscira. In mid-2013 it was announced that the project had been cancelled and The CW instead commissioned Gotham, which took Amazon's prequel concept and gave it to Batman.
  • DC Extended Universe, played by Gal Gadot
  • Titans (2018): A live-action series in which Donna Troy (played by Conor Leslie) is a main character. Diana herself doesn't physically appear, but she is mentioned a lot by Donna and her influence on her is also evident.

  • Wonder Woman appears in a record entitled Wonder Woman: Three Exciting Stories, produced by Power Records in 1973. It largely contains original content which more or less captures the spirit of the comics: The Amazons from Space, Wonder Woman vs the War God and The Secret of the Magic Tiara.
  • Promotional materials for a show (and accompanying toy line) titled Wonder Woman and the Star Riders, aimed at young girls, which never came to be.
  • Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines: A 2012 documentary on the history of Wonder Woman and other superheroine and Action Heroine characters, from a feminist perspective.
