The “Clueless” sequel series has found a new home. The show, which will see Alicia Silverstone reprise the role of Cher Horowitz, has been greenlit at Paramount+.
The project was originally set up for development at Peacock in early 2025, but it was reported in April 2026 that it was no longer moving forward at that streaming service. Sources say that Paramount+ has given the show a six-episode order. It is slated to begin production in Los Angeles in 2027. According to sources, the production has submitted paperwork with the California Film Commission to receive state tax subsidies.
As previously reported, the show will be set in the present day. The logline states, “Beloved Beverly Hills icon Cher Horowitz (Silverstone) has figured out a lot: She’s successful in business and has mastered motherhood—that is, until her daughter’s high school years, and Cher finds that parenting a teenager makes her feel ‘clueless’ all over again.”
The greenlight makes sense on a number of fronts. “Clueless” was originally released by Paramount Pictures in 1995, meaning the series will now stay in-house rather than going to an outside streamer. Universal Television was attached as co-studio when the project was set up at Peacock, but will now be produced solely by Paramount-owned CBS Studios.
