It seems that 'Alice in Wonderland' has been getting developed for film, stage, and TV often. NBC has greenlit a pilot order for a project which is a sequel to 'Alice in Wonderland'.

"Titled Wonderland, the show is a modern-day follow-up to Lewis Carroll’s classic novel that will focus on a new character, Clara. Here’s the official logline: “Seven years ago Clara’s life took an unexplained turn for the worse, but a mysterious stranger tells her there may be an explanation after all … an explanation that lies in the fantastical world of Wonderland. Determined to revive her dreams and get her life back on track, Clara agrees to wage war against the reigning but malevolent Queen, the woman we once knew as Alice.”

The pilot is written by Whit Anderson and executive produced by CSI creator Anthony Zuiker along with Matt Weinberg, JoAnn Alfano and Margaret Riley.

Cool to see more fantasy shows after the success of Once Upon A Time. Very curious!

It's interesting how two of the most beloved children's books/fantasy works of all time, "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Wizard of Oz," are seeing a resurgence in popularity by way of sequels/musicals/movies/books/etc. over the last decade or so. Granted, they've always been popular, but I don't remember this much stuff coming out when I was growing up.

I hope this project is good. If nothing else, it can't be worse than SyFy's "Alice" miniseries. I liked most of it, aside from the actress who played Alice- she had only two facial expressions throughout the whole thing.
