As if they could resist putting Alicia Silverstone back in the yellow and plaid. The iconic actress is reportedly set to reprise her starring role as Cher Horowitz in a highly anticipated Clueless sequel series for Peacock.
The series is currently in development with the streamer, according to Variety, and while plot details are being kept under wraps, we do know that Silverstone will be returning. The show promises to be a continuation of the beloved story from the original 1995 film. This new project is distinct from the Clueless spin-off that Peacock had planned back in 2020.
The creative team behind this exciting revival includes Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, known for their work on the original Gossip Girl series and its reboot, who will be writing the series alongside Jordan Weiss. The trio will also executive produce the show, joined by Amy Heckerling, the original writer-director of Clueless, and Robert Lawrence, the film's original producer. CBS Studios and Universal Television are set to produce this nostalgic return to the world of Clueless.
This isn't the first time Clueless has made the leap to the small screen. Following the film's success, a television adaptation aired on ABC and UPN from 1996 to 1999, with Rachel Blanchard stepping into the role of Cher instead of Silverstone.
Silverstone recently revisited her iconic role in a 2023 Super Bowl commercial for Rakuten, showing her eagerness to step back into Cher's fashionable shoes. Fans are thrilled at the prospect of seeing her bring the character to life once again in this new series.
