Clueless Sequel Series in Development with Alicia Silverstone Reprising Iconic Role

Time to get out the flip-phones and yellow plaid suits because Cher Horowitz is back!

Alicia Silverstone is set to reprise her star-making Clueless role in a sequel series for Peacock, Variety reported. Silverstone, 48, also celebrated the new project on Instagram Thursday, April 17.

“Totally buggin’… in the best way 💁‍♀️✨,” Silverstone wrote, alongside a still and a GIF from Clueless and a screenshot of Variety’s report.

Plot details for the series are unknown, but Variety reports that it is a follow-up to the movie. Gossip Girl creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage are writing with Jordan Weiss. Amy Heckerling, who wrote and directed the film, is involved as an executive producer, alongside Silverstone and producer Robert Lawrence.

The new project is completely separate from the 2020 attempt to reboot Clueless for Peacock. That project was set to center on Dionne Davenport, the character played by Stacey Dash in the movie, while Cher was missing.

Clueless hit theaters in 1995 and was loosely inspired by Jane Austen’s novel Emma. The cast also included Donald Faison, Brittany Murphy, Breckin Meyer and Dan Hedaya. A short-lived sitcom starring Rachel Blanchard as Cher aired from 1996 to 1999.

Silverstone became a star thanks to Clueless’ success, and she has had fun reprising Cher in recent years. She played the character in Rakuten’s 2023 Super Bowl commercial. In 2018, she donned the yellow plaid skirt and jacket for Lip Sync Battle, performing to Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” with a set reminiscent of Cher’s bedroom. Silverstone even recreated a scene alongside her son Bear in a hilarious 2021 TikTok clip.

During The Good Festival’s Sustainability Spotlights event in May 2024, Silverstone said she thought Cher would be an eco-friendly style icon if she were buying clothes in the 2020s.
