As if they could resist bringing back Alicia Silverstone in her iconic yellow and plaid ensemble. The beloved actress is reportedly set to reprise her role as Cher Horowitz in an exciting new Clueless sequel series, greenlit by Peacock.
According to Variety, the series is in the early stages of development, and while plot details remain under wraps, we know Silverstone will be returning to the role that made her a household name. This project is a direct continuation of the story from the original 1995 film, setting it apart from the previously planned Clueless spin-off that Peacock had in the works back in 2020.
The creative team behind this revival includes Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, renowned for their work on the original Gossip Girl series and its reboot, who will pen the script alongside Jordan Weiss. The trio will also serve as executive producers, joining forces with Amy Heckerling, the visionary writer-director of the original Clueless movie, and Robert Lawrence, the film's original producer. CBS Studios and Universal Television are also on board to produce this highly anticipated series.
This isn't the first time Clueless has made the leap to the small screen. Following the success of the 1995 film, a TV adaptation aired on ABC and UPN from 1996 to 1999, with Rachel Blanchard stepping into the role of Cher instead of Silverstone.
Silverstone's recent return to her Clueless character in a 2023 Super Bowl commercial for Rakuten has fans buzzing with excitement. It's clear she's eager to dive back into Cher's world, and we can't wait to see what new adventures await.
