Alicia Silverstone recently opened up about her return as Cher Horowitz in the highly anticipated Clueless sequel series.
Earlier this year, it was announced that a TV series follow-up to the beloved 90s movie is currently in development at Peacock, with Silverstone attached to star and executive produce. If the project moves forward, the actress will reprise her iconic role as Cher Horowitz, which is considered to be her signature character.
Why Did Alicia Silverstone Decide to Star in the Clueless Sequel Series?
In a recent interview on The Today Show (via EW), Silverstone opened up about her decision to reprise the role of Cher Horowitz in the Clueless sequel series.
She clarified that the project is still in early stages at this point, but she is hopeful that it will move forward and they will be able to figure out how to honor the original film.
"I think we're going to try really hard. The goal is to make it honor what everyone loves about Clueless and Cher. 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," the actress said.
Considering that the project remains in development, it might take a while before we hear more news and updates regarding the progress of the prospective sequel series.
There was a previous attempt to reboot Clueless with a mystery series angle, where it would have put a spotlight on Cher’s best friend Dionne. However, that version did not end up happening, and it was shelved.
What to Expect in the Clueless Sequel Series
So far, the plot details regarding the Clueless sequel series are being kept under wraps, except that Cher Horowitz is returning.
Amy Heckerling, who wrote and directed the original, is also involved as one of the executive producers, alongside Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage, Jordan Weiss, and Robert Lawrence, who produced the original.
Aside from Silverstone, it is unknown yet which other cast members from the original film are expected to reprise their roles in the sequel series.
There is also no release window set yet for the series since it is still in early development.
