'Clueless' Sequel Series No Longer in Development at Peacock

Key Points:

• The "Clueless" sequel series, intended to feature Alicia Silverstone reprising her role as Cher Horowitz, is no longer moving forward at Peacock after being announced in development in April 2025.
• CBS Studios and Paramount remain interested in the project and the intellectual property, anticipating strong marketplace interest when it is shopped to other buyers.
• The series was set to continue Cher’s life years after the original film, with Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage, and Jordan Weiss attached as writers and executive producers alongside Silverstone and original film creators Amy Heckerling and Robert Lawrence.
• Universal Television was initially involved in production but has since exited the project, and Peacock had previously developed a different "Clueless" series focused on Dionne in 2020 that also did not progress beyond development.
• "Clueless," originally released in 1995 and inspired by Jane Austen's "Emma," previously had a TV adaptation from 1996 to 1999, and Peacock’s current scripted slate includes various comedies and dramas, though no new series orders have been announced since May 2025.
