## Plot

In 2003, The Wonder Women were dominating the Reshan music industry releasing several hit songs and a platinum-selling debut studio album. However, while performing a concert tour in Hederhelm, a crazed stalker fan shoots and kills Tina, the leader of the band. After the shooting, the group completely falls apart and breaks up, with its members all going in different directions. Elsa has forged a successful solo career and banked her success off of the tragedy, Anja has retreated from the public eye and found herself as a divorced stay-at-home mother, and Gigi has found a career as a successful fashion designer and socialite. In 2013, record executive Samel Georgsen and music producer Deni Klin decide to reform the group ten years later, and have plans to once again turn them into the next big thing.

Season one begins with Samel and Deni's efforts to convince Elsa, Anja, and Gigi to rejoin the newly formed Wonder Women. After reuniting them, the season focuses on the trio recording their comeback single, taking back the public eye, and finally being able to put Tina's death in the past. Season two follows the group planning to release their comeback album and experiencing global stardom. The season also introduces Black Dahlia, a rival girl group.

Season three follows The Wonder Women embarking on their first arena tour in years, and their visits in several countries throughout Pravia. The fourth season sees The Wonder Women beginning work on a followup album, as they compete with Black Dahlia for awards at the upcoming Hanni Awards.
