It’s time to spin into action! Wonder Woman, the 1970’s hit television show starring Lynda Carter, is being released on Blu-ray for the first time.
With the unexpected delay of the next Wonder Woman feature film starring Gal Gadot, Wonder Woman 1984. WB Home Entertainment decided to give fans a treat straight from Themyscira to hold them over by releasing the original TV series on July 28th.
It seems like the timing was going to line up with the original release date of Wonder Woman 1984 before Covid-19 changed everything. That caused Warner Bros to think fast and act fast with the release of the classic series.
