Clueless sequel series greenlit for Paramount+ with Alicia

Paramount has officially greenlit a sequel series to the 1995 cult classic film "Clueless," with Alicia Silverstone set to reprise her iconic role as Cher Horowitz. The series, which will premiere exclusively on Paramount's streaming platform, picks up roughly 30 years after the original movie, following an adult Cher as she navigates the challenges of parenting a teenage daughter.

The project marks a homecoming for the property, as the original film was distributed by Paramount Pictures. The series was previously in development at Peacock, but that streamer passed on the project earlier this year, in April 2026. Paramount has now ordered a six-episode limited series, with production scheduled to begin in Los Angeles in 2027. The production has submitted paperwork to receive California state tax subsidies.

Silverstone will also serve as an executive producer on the series. The creative team includes writer-director Amy Heckerling and producer Robert Lawrence from the original film, who will both executive produce. The series is being written and executive produced by Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage, and Jordan Weiss. CBS Studios, which is owned by Paramount, will produce the show.
