The CW's adult-oriented adaptation of the beloved cartoon was shelved after negative reactions and creative challenges.
- The trailer for the canceled live-action Powerpuff Girls series, originally developed by The CW, has leaked online after two years.
- The show reimagined the Powerpuff Girls as disillusioned adults dealing with the fallout of a tragic accident that killed their nemesis, Mojo Jojo.
