CLUELESS Sequel Series No Longer in Development at Peacock
The series was first announced in April 2025, with Silverstone set to star and executive produce the long-awaited sequel to the 1995 cult classic.
A sequel to Clueless, which would have seen Alicia Silverstone reprise her iconic role as Cher Horowitz, is dead at Peacock, Variety reports. The series, which was previously in development at the streamer, may find a home elsewhere, with CBS Studios and Paramount expected to shop the IP to other buyers.
The series was first announced in April 2025, with Silverstone set to star and executive produce the long-awaited sequel to the 1995 cult classic, which was being developed for Peacock. Original director Amy Heckerling will executive produce along with Robert Lawrence, with Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage penning the series with Jordan Weiss.
This isn't the first time a legacy continuation of the popular franchise has attempted to make its way to the screen. In 2019, a TV reboot was announced by writers Jordan Reddout and Gus Hickey. It was to follow the character of Dionne Davenport (originally played by Stacey Dash), but it ultimately never saw the light of day.
The musical adaptation of the original film recently played on the West End at London’s Trafalgar Theatre, having ended its run on Saturday 23 August 2025. The musical is written by the movie’s original writer-director, Amy Heckerling, and features new music by singer-songwriter KT Tunstall with lyrics by Glenn Slater.
The original film debuted in theaters in 1995 and starred Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, Stacy Dash, Brittany Murphy, Wallace Shawn, and more. Loosely based on Jane Austen's Emma, the movie proved a fan favorite with audiences, later inspiring a spin-off series starring Rachel Blanchard as Cher.
