As if! If you’re a millennial of a certain age, it’s probably wild to you that Clueless is turning 30 this year! The iconic 1995 teen comedy not only gave us iconic fashion moments, quotable one-liners, and Alicia Silverstone as the forever-fabulous Cher Horowitz — it also forever cemented itself as a classic ’90s movie. Three decades later, it’s still totally beloved by both older and younger generations.
Well, today it was announced that ​Alicia Silverstone is stepping back into her iconic yellow plaid suit as Cher in a brand-new Clueless sequel series in development at Peacock! The 48-year-old actress will not only reprise her role but also serve as an executive producer.
Also returning behind the scenes is Amy Heckerling, who wrote and directed the 1995 film, and will serve as executive producer, while Josh Schwartz (creator of The O.C. and Gossip Girl), Stephanie Savage, and Jordan Weiss are attached to write and executive produce the series.
Now, as any millennial will tell you, this isn’t the first sequel TV series. There was a Clueless sitcom that ran from 1996–99, though Alicia did not return for it, and instead, the character of Cher was played Rachel Blanchard.
However, Alicia did reprise her role as Cher (along with Elisa Donovan as Amber) in a 2023 Super Bowl commercial for Rakuten.
As we await more details about the upcoming series, one thing is clear: Cher Horowitz is back, and we’re totally buggin’! Okay, are you guys as excited as I am, and will you be watching?! Let us know in the comments below!
