A (second) Clueless TV series without Alicia Silverstone as queen bee Cher Horowitz? As if!
In 2025, news broke that a revival TV series of the iconic 1995 film with Silverstone attached to star and executive produce was in development at Peacock.
The original Clueless, loosely adapted from Jane Austen’s 1815 novel Emma, centered on Silverstone’s Cher, the most popular girl at Bronson Alcott High School, who sets out to become a successful matchmaker to her friends — and even her teachers.
The film’s box-office success sparked a follow-up TV series in 1996, created by Heckerling and starring Stacey Dash, Donald Faison and Elisa Donovan in their film roles as Cher’s inner circle. Silverstone and Paul Rudd — who portrayed Cher’s love interest and former stepbrother Josh in the film — did not return. The part of Cher was recast and played by Rachel Blanchard. The show aired on ABC for three seasons before its cancellation.
While Peacock picked up a different Clueless reboot centered around Dash’s Dionne in 2019, the project ultimately never moved forward. In April 2026, it was reported that Peacock’s upcoming Clueless TV series was canceled.

Who Would Star on the ‘Clueless’ TV Series?
Silverstone revealed in 2025 that she would return as Cher after reprising the role for a Super Bowl commercial in 2023. It’s unknown whether anyone else from the 1995 cast will return.
Silverstone broke her silence on the project while speaking to Today in August 2025, sharing she was “really excited” about returning as Cher — but wants to make sure the project does the character justice.
“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, adding that the goal is to “honor” the original film while also bringing something “fresh and new” to the series. “I’m confident that we’ll be able to do that, but we’re in baby stages right now.”
