Overview
- Paramount+ officially gave the project a series greenlight on Thursday, July 30, 2026, with Alicia Silverstone attached to reprise Cher Horowitz and serve as an executive producer.
- The sequel is being developed as a limited event series written by Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage and Jordan Weiss and produced by CBS Studios with Amy Heckerling and Robert Lawrence as executive producers.
- Paramount’s logline says the story picks up roughly 30 years after the film with Cher now a business owner and mother who feels “clueless” again when her daughter enters high school.
- Production is planned to begin in Los Angeles in 2027 and some outlets report a six-episode order and that paperwork was filed for California tax incentives, details that remain reported but not universally confirmed by the studio.
- The pickup follows Peacock’s earlier decision to pass on the project this year and keeps the property in-house at Paramount, a move that fits the streamer’s recent focus on reviving legacy franchises and female-skewing series.
