‘Clueless’ sequel TV series no longer in development at Peacock

The show, which had planned to bring Alicia Silverstone back to her iconic role of Cher Horowitz, was announced to be in development at the streaming service in April 2025.

While exact plot details for the show had never been revealed, we know that it was meant to pick up with what happened in Cher’s life many years after the events of the 1995 film Clueless.

Along with Silverstone, the original movie starred Paul Rudd, Stacey Dash, Brittany Murphy, Donald Faison, Elisa Donovan, Breckin Meyer and Dan Hedaya.

In an appearance on Today in August 2025, Silverstone said she was “really excited” about the TV show.

“I think we’re going to try really hard. The goal is to make it honor what everyone loves about Clueless and Cher,” she said.

Silverstone also said she wanted to pay tribute to the source material while creating something new.

“So we want to honor that, but also bring something fresh and new to it. I’m confident that we’ll be able to do that, but we’re in baby stages right now,” Silverstone said.

While the show is no longer moving forward at Peacock, Variety, which first broke the story, reports CBS Studios and Paramount are still high on the project and expect it to “generate significant interest in the marketplace” when it’s taken out to buyers again.
