\n\tThe \u201cClueless<\/a>\u201d sequel series, which would see Alicia Silverstone<\/a> reprise the role of Cher Horowitz, is not moving forward at Peacock<\/a>, Variety has learned exclusively. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe project was announced as being in development<\/a> at the NBCU streamer in April 2025. According to sources, CBS Studios and Paramount remain high on the project and the IP. Given the rabid fanbase for the film and the auspices it boasts, it is expected to generate significant interest in the marketplace when it is taken out to buyers once again. <\/p>\n

\n\tExact plot details for the show were not revealed, aside from the fact it would pick up with Cher\u2019s life years after the events of the iconic film. <\/p>\n

\n\tJosh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage are attached to write 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. Amy Heckerling, who wrote and directed the film, and Robert Lawrence, who produced the film, also serve as executive producers. Universal Television was attached to produce along with CBS Studios, but is no longer involved.<\/p>\n

\n\tPeacock had previously developed a wholly separate \u201cClueless\u201d project in 2020 that would have focused on Cher\u2019s best friend Dionne, but that ultimately did not move beyond development. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cClueless\u201d originally debuted in 1995 and is loosely based on the Jane Austen novel \u201cEmma.\u201d Along with Silverstone, the cast included Paul Rudd, Stacey Dash, Brittany Murphy, Donald Faison, Elisa Donovan, Breckin Meyer, and Dan Hedaya. A TV adaptation aired on ABC and then UPN from 1996 until 1999 for three seasons, with Rachel Blanchard playing Cher.<\/p>\n

\n\tPeacock\u2019s current scripted slate includes returning shows like the comedies \u201cTwisted Metal,\u201d \u201cThe Paper,\u201d and \u201cThe \u2018Burbs,\u201d as well as dramas like \u201cThe Day of the Jackal\u201d and the upcoming shows \u201cM.I.A.,\u201d \u201cThe Five-Star Weekend,\u201d \u201cDig,\u201d \u201cSuperfakes,\u201d and the \u201cFriday the 13th\u201d prequel \u201cCrystal Lake.\u201d Interestingly, Peacock has not announced a new series order since May 2025 when \u201cDig\u201d \u2014 which hails from Amy Poehler and Mike Schur \u2014 was picked up. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The \u201cClueless\u201d sequel series, which would see Alicia Silverstone reprise the role of Cher Horowitz, is not moving…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":413779,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[95685,58190,93,61,60,8048,282],"class_list":{"0":"post-413778","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-alicia-silverstone","9":"tag-clueless","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-peacock","14":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413778","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=413778"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413778\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/413779"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=413778"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=413778"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=413778"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
