Former “Lone Star” and “Friday Night Lights” star Adrianne Palicki made quite an impact on Nerdage readers this year, for filming a pilot that at this point, doesn’t appear that it’s going to air anywhere.

Palicki was cast as Wonder Woman in the David E. Kelley pilot of the same name.

Though the pilot may eventually find its way to TV or online in some fashion, NBC passed on it for the fall roster.

She’s set to co-star in the “Red Dawn” remake with Chris Hemsworth (“Thor”), but that movie has also faced difficulties with getting released, after a post-filming decision to change the U.S. invaders from the Chinese to the North Koreans.

This follows her last series, “Lone Star,” being short-lived despite critical acclaim.   Surely, someone will find a way to get more of Adrianne Palicki on our TV screens soon.  In the meantime, she can be seen in “Elektra Luxx,” starring Carla Gugino, coming to DVD later this month.
