Wonder Woman

From a land of myth, to a world in turmoil.

RELEASED 7 Nov 197550h 53m · 60 episodes★ 7.0 TMDB

With the strength of Hercules, the wisdom of Athena, the speed of Mercury and the beauty of Aphrodite, she’s Wonder Woman. Beautiful Amazon princess Wonder Woman travels to 1940s America disguised as Diana Prince, assistant to handsome but trouble-prone Major Steve Trevor. Using her golden belt, which imbues her with astonishing strength, her bullet-deflecting bracelets, a golden lasso that dispels dishonesty and an invisible supersonic plane, Wonder Woman combats evil.

WATCH NOTE

Begin with The New Original Wonder Woman, season 1 episode 1, first broadcast November 7, 1975, then continue in episode order. This pilot is already included in this entry's 60 episodes; its separate movie listing repeats the same adventure. The separate 1974 television movie starring Cathy Lee Crosby is an earlier unsuccessful pilot with a different interpretation of Diana. Its ancillary special listing in episode databases repeats that movie and adds no regular episodes to this series; watching it is optional. Pilot credits verify Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince, Lyle Waggoner as Major Steve Trevor and Cloris Leachman as Queen Hippolyta. Etta Candy's existing association applies to the enclosing series and is not established for this pilot. Pilot duration listings differ between Paley's 73:51, Rotten Tomatoes' 74 minutes and Apple's 70 minutes; exact presentation differences, remaining official character-profile matches and complete silent/background appearance coverage remain unresolved.

Why it matters in DC

Diana's arrival in America connects her Amazon identity to a public mission under another name. The television setting gives her abilities and relationship with Steve Trevor an ongoing context, providing a distinct screen interpretation alongside the later film and animated origins.

Where it fits in the DC universe

Wonder Woman is title 23 of 75 in our Live-action Elseworlds viewing sequence. The Wonder Woman television series offers its own ongoing interpretation of Diana and Steve Trevor. The later live-action and animated films are separate origins, not sequels that complete this version's story. Its episodes provide the appropriate internal context for following Diana's mission across the series.
