The CW has officially found its latest DC Comics superhero. On Monday, it was announced that Naomi has officially been picked up for a series order for the network. The series, which is inspired by the recent DC Comics miniseries of the same name, will join new reboots of The 4400 and Legends of the Hidden Temple, as well as a spinoff of All American. The series, which is being written and executive produced by Ava DuVernay and Arrow writer Jill Blankenship, will follow Naomi’s (Kaci Walfall) journey after a massive supernatural event shakes her world and her hometown to the core, and once she starts investigating what happened, her world will experience some shakeups as well.
