Nearly three decades ago, the teen comedy Clueless cemented Alicia Silverstone’s status as a movie star on the rise. Now, Silverstone is set to potentially reprise her role as Cher Horowitz in a Clueless sequel series that’s in development at Peacock.
According to Deadline, Silverstone is attached to star in and executive produce the potential Clueless series. The original 1995 movie by writer and director Amy Heckerling was a coming-of-age story loosely inspired by Jane Austen’s Emma. The premise of the sequel series hasn’t been disclosed, but Heckerling will executive produce the show alongside one of the film’s producers, Robert Lawrence. Gossip Girl‘s Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage and Dollface creator Jordan Weiss are writing and executive producing the new Clueless.
Silverstone, who recently co-starred in Netflix’s thriller Reptile, previously reprised her role as Cher for a one-off Super Bowl commercial for Rakuten.
This isn’t the first time that the Clueless characters have come to TV. In 1996, Rachel Blanchard took over the role of Cher for a Clueless series that ran for one season on ABC before moving to UPN for its final two seasons. Stacey Dash, who co-starred in the film as Dionne, reprised her role for the show. More recently, Dash was set to star in a different Clueless series that Peacock had in development in 2019. However, that project didn’t come to pass.
It’s unclear if Dash, Paul Rudd, or any of the other surviving original cast members will appear on the new Clueless TV series, should it go forward. Because the Clueless film was released by Paramount, the rights to the series are controlled by CBS Studios, which is producing the potential Peacock series with Universal TV.
Since this project remains in early development for now, there’s no word on when or if it will premiere. In the meantime, Peacock does have new seasons of Twisted Metal and Poker Face coming in the near future.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
