Alicia Silverstone Returns for Clueless Sequel Series

Alicia Silverstone will reprise her role as Cher Horowitz and serve as executive producer in a new 'Clueless' sequel series in development at Peacock, nearly 30 years after the original 1995 film. The project will also involve original film writer-director Amy Heckerling, and producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, with Jordan Weiss joining as a writer and executive producer. This marks Silverstone's first full return as Cher since the film, though she recently reprised the role in a Super Bowl commercial. The show is described as a follow-up to the cult classic, which was loosely based on Jane Austen's 'Emma,' and comes after a failed 2020 reboot attempt and a prior TV adaptation from 1996-1999 that did not feature Silverstone. Plot details remain secret, but fan reactions have been mixed, reflecting both excitement and skepticism. The series is produced by CBS Studios and Universal Television.
