Would you watch a new Clueless sequel series on Paramount+?
Paramount+ has greenlit a Clueless sequel event series starring Alicia Silverstone as Cher Horowitz, after Peacock ended development of its own sequel earlier in 2026. The series will follow Cher as a businesswoman raising a teenage daughter.
Why it matters
The project revives a franchise that has been in development limbo, with CBS Studios and Paramount shopping the series after Peacock's exit. Its move to Paramount+ gives the property a new streaming home for a long-dormant title.
The series is set roughly 30 years after the 1995 film and follows the earlier 1996 to 1999 television adaptation starring Rachel Blanchard. Paramount+ has not disclosed a budget, episode count, or premiere date.
The players
Alicia Silverstone
Alicia Silverstone is the actress best known for playing Cher Horowitz in the 1995 film Clueless, and she returns to the role as an executive producer.
Paramount+
Paramount+ is the streaming service of Paramount Global that has greenlit the Clueless sequel event series.
The details
Silverstone will reprise her role as Cher and serve as an executive producer alongside Amy Heckerling and Robert Lawrence. A separate Dionne-focused reboot never moved forward.
Timeline
1995: Original Clueless film released.
1996 to 1999: Television adaptation with Rachel Blanchard aired.
Earlier in 2026: Peacock ended development of its planned sequel.
2027: Production expected to begin in Los Angeles.
Industry Dynamics
The move reflects the ongoing streaming-era pattern of reviving nostalgic 1990s film properties, with the franchise passing from Peacock to Paramount+ after a failed attempt at a sequel. It fits a broader trend of studios repackaging legacy titles to draw audiences already familiar with the brand.
The series will stream exclusively on Paramount+, so viewers will need a subscription to watch it. No premiere date or subscription tier details have been announced yet.
The takeaway
Clueless fans looking to watch the sequel should watch for Paramount+ announcements on casting and premiere timing. The project is still in early stages, so details may shift before production begins.
