The streamer announced in April 2025 that the project was in the works with Silverstone was attached to reprise her signature role as Cher. The Gossip Girl duo of Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage of Fake Empire and Dollface creator Jordan Weiss wrote and executive produced, with the 1995 movie’s writer-director Amy Heckerling and producer Robert Lawrence also executive producing.
Sources tell Deadline CBS Studios and Paramount remain high on the project and the IP, and it is expected to create strong interest when it is taken out to market.
CBS Studios owns the TV rights to the Paramount feature classic which starred Silverstone, Stacey Dash, Brittany Murphy and Paul Rudd.
CBS Studios’ predecessor, Paramount Network Television, was behind the 1996 half-hour comedy series Clueless, created by Heckerling, which ran for three seasons, one on ABC and two on UPN, with Rachel Blanchard playing Cher since Silverstone was not available, with Dash reprising her role as Dionne.
The Clueless movie (and 1996 series), loosely adapted from Jane Austen’s 1815 novel Emma, chronicled the adventures of Cher Horowitz, a stylish, wealthy and popular California girl who attends Bronson Alcott High.
