A Clueless sequel series with Alicia Silverstone is in the works
Alicia Silverstone is set to reprise the role of Cher Horowitz in a Clueless sequel series at Peacock, Variety reported.
The show is currently in the works but plot details are being kept under wraps. However, what’s confirmed is that the show will serve as a follow-up to the cult classic film.
Hit TV series Gossip Girl co-creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage will serve as writers, along with Jordan Weiss. All three will executive produce, with Schwartz and Savage doing so under their Fake Empire banner.
Silverstone will executive produce in addition to starring, per the outlet. Amy Heckerling, who wrote and directed the original film, and Robert Lawrence, who produced the film, will also serve as executive producers.
CBS Studios will produce in association with Universal Television.
This Clueless series is different from the one planned at Peacock in 2020, which ultimately did not go forward. That show was described as more of mystery series in which Cher disappeared and focused instead on her best friend, Dionne. It was also helmed by a completely different creative team.
Clueless originally released in 1995 and is loosely based on the Jane Austen novel Emma.
Along with Silverstone, the OG cast included Paul Rudd, Stacey Dash, Brittany Murphy, Donald Faison, Elisa Donovan, Breckin Meyer, and Dan Hedaya.
A TV adaptation of the show aired on ABC and then UPN from 1996 until 1999 for three seasons, with Rachel Blanchard playing Cher.
Silverstone previously reprised her role as Cher for a Super Bowl ad in 2023 for Rakuten. The film helped propel her to stardom, and she went on to star in Batman & Robin.
