A 'Clueless' television series is under way at Peacock, Alicia Silverstone to reprise her iconic role
Ugh as if!
Alicia Silverstone is officially stepping back into her iconic plaid skirt as Cher Horowitz in a brand-new Clueless television series, now in development at Peacock.
Based on the beloved 1995 teen comedy, the new series is being crafted by Gossip Girl creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, along with Dollface creator Jordan Weiss.
Silverstone isn't just reprising her role—she's also stepping into the role of executive producer, joined by the film's original director and writer Amy Heckerling and producer Robert Lawrence.
This isn't the first time a Clueless revival has been in the works. A previous attempt in 2020 centered around Dionne fizzled out, but Peacock is giving the franchise another go, this time with Cher at the forefront once more.
The original Clueless was a witty, ultra-stylish spin on Jane Austen's Emma, turning Cher into a fashion-forward, well-meaning Beverly Hills teen navigating high school, matchmaking, and self-discovery.
It became an instant classic, spawning a TV spin-off in the late '90s that ran for three seasons.
Plot details for the new series are still tightly under wraps, but it promises to continue Cher's story.
Silverstone's return follows her surprise revival of the character in a Super Bowl commercial two years ago that sent fans into a nostalgic frenzy.
Since her Clueless breakout, Silverstone has starred in films like Batman & Robin, Blast from the Past, and Beauty Shop, and earned critical acclaim for her recent TV work in American Horror Stories, The Baby-Sitters Club, and American Woman.
Up next, she's starring in the Yorgos Lanthimos-directed Bugonia and producing and appearing in the Acorn TV series Irish Blood.
With Silverstone back in the driver's seat and the OG creative team reuniting, this reboot could be anything but clueless.

Love Island USA season 7 premiere kicks off with surprise twist, delayed stream, and steamy couple shakeups
Love Island USA Season 7 made a dramatic entrance despite a 40-minute delay due to technical issues on Peacock's end, as reported by Screen Rant's Cher Thompson. The new season opened with a musical number led by returning host Ariana Madix and introduced ten new Islanders. A surprising twist gave the female contestants the power to kiss and choose their partners, a shakeup from previous seasons. The initial pairings were: Chelley Bissainthe & Austin Shepard, Huda Mustafa & Jeremiah Brown, Olandria Carthen & Taylor Williams, Bell-A Walker & Nic Vansteenberghe, and Yulissa Escobar & Ace Greene. Before these couplings, the women each kissed two of the men, and the men could be stolen at any moment. The result was a fast-paced and unpredictable shuffle that set the tone for the season. Two late arrivals, Bombshells Charlie Georgiou and Cierra Ortega, added even more intrigue. They kissed all the Islanders during a blindfolded game where each contestant had a chance to secretly kiss someone outside their pairing. This bold move stirred anticipation for the drama to come. Early dynamics are already shifting. Chelley showed a clear interest in TikTok star Ace Greene, despite her pairing with Austin. Huda revealed she has a daughter, a detail that could influence her relationship with Jeremiah. Belle-A's reluctance to get physical with Nic may also present challenges. Meanwhile, Yulissa's seemingly strategic behavior contrasted with the more open and honest interactions among Chelley, Olandria, and Belle-A. Despite the chaotic start, Love Island USA Season 7 has set the tone for a summer filled with emotional depth, evolving relationships, and surprising twists. With nightly episodes (except Wednesdays) on Peacock, the drama is just getting started.

NFL Madden 26 Cover: Saquon Barkley lands cover with 99 rating, the internet has its say
EA Sports has named Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley the cover athlete for Madden NFL 26, honouring a landmark season that included a Super Bowl title, 2,005 rushing yards and a viral moment that seemed lifted straight from the video game itself. Barkley, 28, is only the ninth player in NFL history to surpass the 2,000-yard mark in a single season. He also became the newest member of the elite 'Madden 99 Club,' the game's highest rating tier, and the latest player to front the iconic franchise. The cover reveal was accompanied by a now-iconic image: Barkley mid-air, performing a reverse hurdle over Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jarrian Jones during a Week 9 clash. The move—executed while Barkley had his back turned to the defender—was widely circulated online and lauded as one of the season's most jaw-dropping plays. 'Saquon's reverse hurdle was one of the rare, defining moments in NFL history that would have once been described as 'something out of a video game,'' said Evan Dexter, vice president of franchise strategy and marketing for EA Sports Madden NFL. In a promotional video released with the announcement, Barkley reflected on the journey from gamer to cover athlete. 'This last season's been everything,' he said. 'Win the Super Bowl, create iconic moments. It starts with imagination — being a kid, having those moments, playing video games and saying, 'Why can't I do it in real life?'' The former New York Giants star credited his new team's culture for fuelling his breakout campaign. Barkley was a key contributor in the Eagles' title run and tallied 15 total touchdowns over the course of the season. EA Sports stated the upcoming edition of Madden NFL would offer its most realistic simulation yet. 'It's a display of the athleticism and creativity of one of football's most electrifying athletes,' Dexter said. The game is set to release on 14 August 2025, with pre-orders now open. 'Starring on the cover of Madden NFL 26 and being named to the Madden NFL 99 Club are both dreams come true,' Barkley said. 'I'm grateful to my teammates, coaches and Eagles fans for their support, and I can't wait to hit the field again to give Madden players more highlight-reel moments.' For Philadelphia fans, all that remains now is to hope the fabled 'Madden Curse' doesn't strike. NFL fans on X (formerly Twitter) have been reacting to the news, with many naming alternatives they believe should've become cover athlete instead. I wish he wasn't on it bc I believe in the curse but it was too perfect. 26 on 26 — 🦅 RUN IT BACK🦅 (LIX Champs💍💍) (@RollPhillyDawgz) June 2, 2025 How does he deserve it over Lamar — bossman (@thyonlybossman) June 2, 2025 Congrats to Saquon in advance to being the first Eagles player to break the Madden curse!!! — 🔥 CEO Branding Expert (@Ceo_Branding) June 2, 2025 Who's the poor soul he's hurdling — VGhostface Killa 🐝 (@VGKBetta) June 2, 2025 Shoulda been my guy CJ Stroud smh — Duv-ALL Sports Cards & Collectible's (@DuvALLsports) June 2, 2025
