Imagine the delight of fans as Alicia Silverstone steps back into the iconic yellow and plaid outfit to reprise her role as Cher Horowitz in a new Clueless sequel series, set to stream on Peacock. The excitement is palpable, and while plot details are currently under wraps, the involvement of Silverstone and the promise of a continuation of the beloved 1995 film's story are enough to send fans into a frenzy.
This upcoming series marks a fresh take on the Clueless universe, distinct from Peacock's previously planned spin-off in 2020. At the helm of this new project are Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, renowned for their work on the original Gossip Girl series and its reboot. They're joined by writer Jordan Weiss, and together, this creative trio will not only write but also executive produce the series. Adding to the powerhouse team are Amy Heckerling, the original writer and director of Clueless, and Robert Lawrence, the film's original producer. CBS Studios and Universal Television are also on board to produce, ensuring a high-quality adaptation.
This isn't the first time Clueless has made the leap to the small screen. Following the success of the 1995 film, a television series aired on ABC and UPN from 1996 to 1999, with Rachel Blanchard taking on the role of Cher. However, Silverstone's recent return as Cher in a 2023 Super Bowl commercial for Rakuten shows her enthusiasm for the character, hinting at her readiness to dive back into Cher's world. Fans can hardly wait to see what new adventures await Cher and her friends in this highly anticipated series.
