The reveal of a community’s fall schedule at all times has its justifiable share of surprises and this 12 months was no totally different. Regardless of receiving appreciable buzz, The CW has determined to not transfer their live-action Powerpuff Ladies adaptation to sequence and can as a substitute redevelop the pilot off-cycle. The property is claimed to be a giant precedence for the community which is why they’re making strikes to see if they’ll get it fully proper.

The Greg Berlanti-produced pilot from writers Heather Regnier and Diablo Cody was a front-runner at The CW to land a spot within the schedule and the casting of Dove Cameron, Chloe Bennet, and rising star Yana Perrault helped solidify early buzz. As a substitute, when The CW’s schedule was revealed for subsequent season, Mike Pedowitz greenlit fellow frontrunner and Ava DuVernay’s DC Comics drama Naomi and a derivative of The CW (and Netflix) hit All American to hitch straight-to-series entry The 4400 on the lineup.

Powerpuff Ladies stays an vital franchise for the community and your complete forged, together with Donald Faison, stays connected. The one factor that’s regarding when you have been hoping this present would occur is that The CW has been making an attempt to redevelop a Misplaced Boys sequence, based mostly on the movie, off-cycle for years and it nonetheless hasn’t moved ahead. That being stated, Greg Berlanti has given the community many hits so that will give Powerpuff Ladies an edge. Nancy Drew spinoff Tom Swift — which has but to movie a pilot — additionally stays in consideration, although it’s unclear if both will probably be for midseason 2021-22 or the 2022-23 season.

This undertaking has at all times been a headscratcher for me as a result of I simply did not see the idea working as a live-action sequence. I understood that it did acquire lots of traction when it was first introduced however I believe lots of the “buzz” needed to do with followers questioning how this may precisely work. I’d say the response to the potential sequence has been fairly polarizing on-line however The CW clearly thinks that this might be successful if it hits all the appropriate marks creatively so I am open to them giving it one other shot.

Are YOU stunned that the Powerpuff Ladies pilot is being redeveloped?
