Clueless Revival Canceled by Peacock
23 Apr
Summary
- Peacock has canceled the Clueless TV show revival.
- Alicia Silverstone was set to reprise her role as Cher.
- Producers remain interested in the Clueless IP.
A television series revival of the iconic 1995 film Clueless, intended for Peacock, has been canceled. The project aimed to follow Cher Horowitz, played by Alicia Silverstone, in her later years. Silverstone was slated to reprise her role, but the show is no longer advancing at the streaming service.
Despite this cancellation, CBS Studios and Paramount, the producers involved, express continued interest in the Clueless franchise. This suggests the possibility of the series being picked up by another network or streamer, or the development of future Clueless-related projects.
Notable talents like Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, known for The O.C. and Gossip Girl, were attached to write the series. Amy Heckerling, the original film's writer-director, was also set to serve as an executive producer.
This development follows another recent cancellation of a potential Clueless series focusing on Dionne, Cher's best friend, which did not progress past the development stage in 2020. The challenges in reviving the beloved property may stem from living up to the original movie's legacy.
Meanwhile, another '90s revival, Ryan Coogler's The X-Files reboot, is reportedly still in development for Hulu.
