It seems impossible for them to resist reuniting Alicia Silverstone with that iconic yellow plaid outfit. Reports indicate the beloved actress will reprise her legendary role as Cher Horowitz in an upcoming Clueless sequel series for Peacock.
Variety confirms the streaming platform currently has the project in development, though plot specifics remain tightly under wraps. What we do know: Silverstone's participation is confirmed, the series will continue the narrative from the classic 1995 film, and key creative collaborators are attached. This marks a distinct approach from Peacock's previously planned 2020 Clueless revival.
Writing duties fall to Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage (the original Gossip Girl creators and reboot producers) alongside Jordan Weiss. The trio will executive produce with Amy Heckerling (Clueless' writer-director) and original producer Robert Lawrence. CBS Studios and Universal Television are co-producing.
The 1995 comedy previously spawned a short-lived TV adaptation between 1996-1999, airing on ABC and UPN with Rachel Blanchard assuming Cher's role instead of Silverstone.
Silverstone recently revisited her signature character in Rakuten's 2023 Super Bowl ad – clear evidence she's eager to revisit Cher's fabulous wardrobe. Frankly, we completely understand the sentiment.
