Nineties nostalgia lovers, this one is for you. The Clueless reboot is happening, and Cher actor Alicia Silverstone has opened up about how she feels about its return. She will executive produce and reprise her iconic role.
“I’m really excited about it,” Silverstone said in an interview with Today. “I think we’re going to try really hard. The goal is to make it honour what everyone loves about Clueless and Cher.”
“So we want to honour that, but also bring something fresh and new to it,” she added. “I’m confident that we’ll be able to do that, but we’re in baby stages right now.”
Gossip Girl and The OC bosses Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage will executive produce alongside Silverstone, so you know the team will have the teen drama art perfected. The original Clueless director Amy Heckerling will also return, with Silverstone explaining that “Amy understands Cher’s heart—that blend of superficiality and sincerity that made her revolutionary.”
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Clueless make a comeback. A sitcom aired shortly after the film released, starring Dionne actor Stacey Dash and Rachel Blanchard as Cher and Amber actor Elisa Donovan. A London West End musical of Clueless has also captured our hearts, and we were also looking forward to a Dionne-centred spin-off, which was announced back in 2020, but never made it to screens.

A plot synopsis for the spin-off describes “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?”
