Ava Duvernay Debuts New Naomi Trailer Ahead Of Series Premiere

This week will see the premiere of Naomi, the latest series within The CW’s ever-evolving universe of DC shows. The series has an impressive array of talent in front of and behind the camera, including co-creator and executive producer Ava DuVernay. DuVernay, whose work includes A Wrinkle in Time, When They See Us, and 13, has been vocal in her excitement about bringing the story of Naomi McDuffie (Kaci Walfall) to the small screen — and she continued that hype on social media on Monday, sharing a new trailer for the series ahead of its Tuesday premiere.

I was asked why I’m doing a show on the CW about a Black girl learning that she’s actually a superhero. Because I want there to be a show about a Black girl learning that she’s actually a superhero. And then being a great one. NAOMI debuts tomorrow. So proud. All-new trailer. pic.twitter.com/1eSSn403fh
