Imagine stepping back into the world of high school fashion and witty banter with none other than Alicia Silverstone donning the iconic yellow and plaid once again. The beloved actress is set to reprise her role as Cher Horowitz in an eagerly anticipated Clueless sequel series, which is currently in development with Peacock.
While the plot details are still under wraps, we do know that this series will continue the story from the original 1995 film. It's worth noting that this project is distinct from the Clueless spin-off Peacock had planned in 2020. The creative team behind this new series includes Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, the masterminds behind the original Gossip Girl series and its reboot, who will co-write the series with Jordan Weiss. All three will also serve as executive producers alongside Amy Heckerling, the original writer-director of Clueless, and Robert Lawrence, the film's original producer. CBS Studios and Universal Television are also on board to produce.
This isn't the first time Clueless has made the leap to the small screen. After 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.
Alicia Silverstone's recent appearance as Cher in a 2023 Super Bowl commercial for Rakuten shows that she's more than ready to dive back into Cher's world. Fans can hardly wait to see what new adventures await in this beloved universe.
