Cher has come a long way since her Bronson Alcott High School days,&#8221; a logline reads. &#8220;She&#8217;s a successful businesswoman who has mastered motherhood. But now, with her own daughter entering her high school years, Cher finds that parenting a teen makes her feel, ahem, clueless all over again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"break-words  verse-paragraph-md font-regular mb-4 min-h-2\">Silverstone and Amy Heckerling, the original writer and director of Clueless, will serve as executive producers along with Robert Lawrence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"break-words  verse-paragraph-md font-regular mb-4 min-h-2\">Creative partners Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, who developed Gossip Girl, are attached to pen the script, along with Jordan Weiss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"break-words  verse-paragraph-md font-regular mb-4 min-h-2\">Filming is set to take place in Los Angeles next year. A premiere date for the show has not yet been disclosed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"break-words  verse-paragraph-md font-regular mb-4 min-h-2\">&#8220;Clueless is coming home,&#8221; declared Jane Wiseman, head of originals for Paramount+. &#8220;Thirty-one years ago, Alicia Silverstone&#8217;s Cher Horowitz captivated audiences with her signature chic style, sharp wit, and relentless optimism, helping make Clueless a box-office hit and instant pop-culture classic. We&#8217;re especially proud to be filming this much-anticipated series in Los Angeles, honouring its starring role in the original film while investing in the city&#8217;s exceptional talent and crews.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Clueless sequel TV series featuring Alicia Silverstone is moving forward again.
