YES, ANOTHER WEEK…………ANOTHER REBOOT TO TALK ABOUT.
From Hollywood Reporter:
A reboot of the beloved 1995 movie Clueless — one that centers on a supporting character from the film and includes a mystery element — has landed at Peacock.
The NBCUniversal streaming platform will develop a comedy that’s set in the present and will focus on Dionne (played by Stacey Dash in the movie), Cher Horowitz’s lifelong best friend.
The show is described as “a baby pink and bisexual blue-tinted, tiny sunglasses-wearing, oat milk latte and Adderall-fueled look at what happens when queen bee Cher disappears and her lifelong No. 2 Dionne steps into Cher’s vacant Air Jordans. How does Dionne deal with the pressures of being the new most popular girl in school, while also unraveling the mystery of what happened to her best friend?”
CBS TV Studios previously produced a sitcom based on the movie, starring Rachel Blanchard as Cher and with Dash continuing her role as Dionne. It ran for three seasons on ABC and UPN.
Peacock already has updates of sitcoms Saved by the Bell and Punky Brewster among its roster of original series, along with a new version of Battlestar Galactica from Sam Esmail and a MacGruber series based on Will Forte’s Saturday Night Live character.
