  • Heckerling told PEOPLE that the milestone feels less significant to her than earlier celebrations, emphasizing that the film is celebrated year-round rather than tied to a single date.
  • Peacock is developing a sequel series that will see Alicia Silverstone return as Cher Horowitz, marking her first television portrayal of the character since the 1996 spinoff.

  • Original cast members have credited the genuine chemistry on set and the film’s smart blend of humor and social insight for its lasting impact on slang, fashion and pop culture.
