Leaked Trailer Reveals Scrapped Powerpuff Girls Live-Action Series

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.
  • Creative issues and a leaked script with negative reception led The CW to overhaul the pilot, but the project was ultimately scrapped in 2023.
  • The series featured Chloe Bennet, Dove Cameron, and Yana Perrault as Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, with Diablo Cody and Heather Regnier as co-writers.
  • Online reactions to the leaked trailer have been largely critical, though some viewers expressed curiosity about its campy and unconventional tone.
