There's officially going to be a Clueless TV series reboot 🙌
We're totally buggin'!
Last updated 26th Aug 2020
The utterly iconic Clueless turned 25 this year, if you can believe that! The classic, which was released in 1995 starring Alicia Silverstone as Cher, was a modernised version of Jane Austen's Emma, and fans of the film are still totally in love with it now.
Although it may seem that the film couldn't be improved on, it's now been confirmed that a TV series reboot is actually happening - and we can't help but be totally excited!
The film already spawned one TV series, and if the Peacock streaming service has its way, a second show will arrive – with a twist... This version will be totally about Cher's best pal, Dionne, played in the film by Stacey Dash.
The new take on the story is being described as "a baby pink and bisexual blue-tinted, tiny sun-glasses wearing, oat milk latte and Adderall-fueled look at what happens when queen bee Cher disappears and her lifelong number two Dionne steps into Cher’s vacant Air Jordans.
"How does Dionne deal with the pressures of being the new most popular girl in school, while also unravelling the mystery of what happened to her best friend?"
The film's writer/director Amy Heckerling isn't involved in this new small screen incarnation, with Jordan Reddout and Gus Hickey running the show as head writers.
The new show will swap out the cast (though we'd expect the production team to offer cameos to them). This latest series had been in development late last year, but it now has an official home and will move forward.
