Peacock apparently thought the idea of a Clueless sequel series starring Alicia Silverstone was a full-on Monet. From far away, the idea seemed okay, but close up, it was just a big old mess. Per Variety<\/a>, the sequel series announced last year<\/a> is no longer in development at the streamer. Whatever.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The series, presumably titled The Clueless, would reportedly catch up with Cher Horowitz (played by a returning Silverstone), 30 years after the events of Amy Heckerling\u2019s 1996 classic. Creative duties were handed over to Freakier Friday writer Jordan Weiss and Gossip Girl creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, who began collaborating on The O.C., which Schwartz created. Heckerling remained an executive producer on the series, but there was no word on whether she would get a crack at directing an episode, not that it matters anymore. However,\u00a0 given how popular the film continues to be, the rightsholders at CBS Studios and Paramount could sell the series to another buyer in the future.<\/p>\n

Clueless is a long-running television concern. Following the film\u2019s success, a network TV adaptation made its way to the TGIF line-up with some of the original cast, including Stacey Dash and Donald Faison, in tow. With Silverstone suiting up for Batgirl, Peep Show\u2018s Rachel Blanchard took over the Cher Horowitz role for the show\u2019s three-year run. Peacock saw Clueless\u2018 television potential again in 2019, when it announced a Riverdale-style series that followed Dash\u2019s character Dionne as she investigated Cher\u2019s disappearance. While that\u2019s a lot more Stacey Dash than television needs at the moment, there\u2019s still an opportunity to bring Blanchard back for a revival, assuming someone, anyone, is nostalgic for the Clueless TV series.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t mourn the flailing Clueless revival, like a virgin who can\u2019t drive. The Clueless musical is touring the UK this fall<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Peacock apparently thought the idea of a Clueless sequel series starring Alicia Silverstone was a full-on Monet.
