The network has also ordered a pilot about nuns from ‘Jane the Virgin’s’ Jennie Snyder Urman.
Pilot season at The CW is happening after all. The youth-skewing broadcaster has handed pilot orders to three projects: Ava DuVernay’s superhero drama Naomi, the live-action reboot of The Powerpuff Girls and a millennial nun dramedy exec produced by Jennie Snyder Urman.
Filmmaker Ava DuVernay counts herself as one of the many people inspired by W.J. Lofton’s powerful visual poem “We Ask For Fire”—in which he repeats the words, “the cops who murdered Breonna Taylor are at home with their families”—as protesters around the world demanded justice following her death last March.
Ava Duvernay’s Queen Sugar is returning to OWN next month after its season 4 finale aired in September of 2019. The upcoming season will follow the Bordelon family as they navigate the coronavirus pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement, and political corruption in their community.
