Clique Book Series Revived: Original Cast Reunites for Sequel

In September 2025, actress Ellen Marlow, who played the lead role of Claire Lyons in the 2008 film adaptation of The Clique, has revealed that she is collaborating with the original book series author, Lisi Harrison, to write a new adult novel continuing the story.

The Clique book series, which debuted in 2004, follows the lives of a group of wealthy girls known as the "Pretty Committee" and their new friend, Claire, after her family moves to Westchester, New York. While the 2008 movie adaptation went largely unnoticed upon its initial release, it has since found new life on streaming platforms and social media, with a resurgence of interest from fans.

Marlow, now 31 years old, says the "girls are all on board" to return for a potential sequel, and that the original cast members have reconnected in an "amazing way" due to the online revival of the franchise. The actress notes that the new book will explore the insecurities and life challenges the characters face in their late 20s, a theme that has resonated with many women who grew up with the series.

Harrison has tapped into Marlow's expertise to help capture the modern dynamics of female friendships and relationships, as the new novel aims to pick up where the original series left off. While a release date has not yet been announced, the duo is working to deliver a story that will thrill the dedicated fanbase that has kept The Clique alive for over a decade and a half.
