Peacocks Clueless Sequel Series Canceled: Alicia Silverstones Cher Horowitz Return Falls Through

Peacocks highly anticipated Clueless sequel series, set to star Alicia Silverstone as Cher Horowitz, has been canceled. The project, announced in April 2025, was to be executive produced by Silverstone and written by Gossip Girl creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, with original director Amy Heckerling also on board. Despite the star power and nostalgia factor, Peacock has decided not to move forward with the series. Silverstone, who has kept the Clueless spirit alive through various performances and social media posts, may have to find other ways to satisfy fans cravings for more Cher adventures.

On April 23rd, Peacock just pulled the plug on that hot coolist sequel series, the one bringing back Alicia Silverstone as Chair Horowitz after more than 30 years. Announced back in April 2025, it was going to star the 49-year-old actress and have her executive producing too. Word from Variety and Deadline says the streaming service isn't moving forward anymore, even though it had big names attached like Gossip Girl. There's Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage on Writing Doodies, plus original director Amy Heckerling as an executive producer. Silverstone was all in when it dropped, posting on Instagram that she was totally bugging in the best way, sharing clips from the classic flick. That 1995 movie, loosely based on Jane Austen's Emma, starred her alongside Paul Rudd, Stacey Dash, and others, and it spawned a sitcom from 1996 to 1999. This isn't the first swing and miss, Peacock tried a reboot in 2020 centered on Diane Davenport without share, but that fizzled too.

Silverstone's kept the vibe alive over the years, channeling share and ellipsing battle performance, a fun TikTok with her son, and even a 20. 23 Super Bowl Spot Fans holding out for more shared ventures might be disappointed, but that timeless style and sass from the original still rules pop culture today. From the spotlight, powered by AI, this is Entertainment and Celebrity News Today, I'm Corey with The Story.
