Teaser Trailer for New CW Superhero Teen Series NAOMI
A teaser trailer has been released by The CW for a new teen superhero series called Naomi. The show stars Kaci Walfall (Army Wives, The Equalizer) as Naomi, a young woman who is beginning to realize that she has super powers. The teaser also gives viewers a first look at a character named Dee, played by Alexander Wraith, who plays a winged alien from the planet Thanagar.
The series also stars Stephanie March (Law & Order: SVU), Camila Moreno, Cranston Johnson, Barry Watson, Mary-Charles Jones, Aidan Gemme, Mouzam Makkar, Will Meyers, and Daniel Puig. The series is being written and executive produced by Ava DuVernay (When They See Us) and Arrow writer Jill Blankenship.
Here’s the show’s synopsis:
"Naomi follows the journey of a cool, confident, comic book–loving teenager as she pursues her hidden destiny. When a supernatural event shakes her hometown of Port Oswego to the core, Naomi sets out to uncover its origins, with a little help from her fiercely loyal best friend Annabelle (Mary-Charles Jones, "Kevin Can Wait"). She also has the support of her adoptive, doting parents, veteran military officer Greg (Barry Watson, "7th Heaven," "The Loudest Voice") and linguistics teacher Jennifer (Mouzam Makkar, "The Fix"). After an encounter with Zumbado (Cranston Johnson, "Filthy Rich"), the mysterious owner of a used car lot, leaves her shaken, Naomi turns to tattoo parlor owner Dee (Alexander Wraith, "Orange Is the New Black"), who becomes her reluctant mentor. While unfolding the mystery about herself, Naomi also effortlessly navigates her high school friendships with kids on the military base as well as well as local townies, including ex-boyfriend and high school jock Nathan (Daniel Puig); Annabelle's longtime, loyal boyfriend Jacob (Aidan Gemme); proud "townie" Anthony (Will Meyers, "Bad Education"); and fellow comic book enthusiast Lourdes (Camila Moreno), who works in a vintage collectible shop. As Naomi journeys to the heights of the Multiverse in search of answers, what she discovers will challenge everything we believe about our heroes."
This looks like it has the potential to be a fun series. Check out the trailer below, and watch Naomi on The CW when it premieres on Tuesday, January 11th.
