The Clueless TV show with Alicia Silverstone has received a terrible update.
Clueless is the iconic coming-of-age comedy movie that was released in 1995. Written and directed by Amy Heckerling, it stars Alicia Silverstone as Cher Horowitz, Paul Rudd as Josh Lucas, Stacey Dash as Dionne Davenport, Brittany Murphy as Tai Frasier, and more.
There’s been talk about making a Clueless television show for years. It seemed like the project was finally happening when it was announced last year that the series was back on track for development for Peacock and that Silverstone would be reprising her role.
What is the update on the Clueless TV show?
Per Variety, it has now been announced that the Clueless show is no longer moving forward at Peacock.
The reason why the series won’t be happening at Peacock has not been revealed. On the contrary, Variety’s article states, “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.”
This makes it sound like there could be some hope for the show to someday get made, though whether or not that actually happens remains to be seen.
Plot details for the Clueless TV show were not revealed, though it is known that it was supposed to once again follow Cher years after the events of the original movie.
Heckerling was named as an executive producer on the project alongside Silverstone and Robert Lawrence. Additionally, Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage, and Jordan Weiss were all named as writers and executive producers for the show.
“Peacock had previously developed a wholly separate Clueless project in 2020 that would have focused on Cher’s best friend Dionne, but that ultimately did not move beyond development,” Variety’s article also notes.
