Paramount+ has picked the Clueless sequel, from Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage, Jordan Weiss and CBS Studios, as a limited series.

The series is a sequel to the cult-classic 1995 Paramount Pictures teen comedy film starring Alicia Silverstone. She will reprise her role as Cher Horowitz and will serve as an executive producer on the sequel.

Picking up 30 years after the original film, beloved Beverly Hills icon Cher Horowitz (Silverstone) has figured out a lot: She’s successful in business and has mastered motherhood — that is, until her daughter’s high school years, and Cher finds that parenting a teenager makes her feel “clueless” all over again.

Schwartz, Savage and Weiss are writing the series, which is executive produced by Schwartz & Savage (The OC, Gossip Girl) via their Fake Empire banner, Weiss (Freakier Friday, Dollface), Silverstone and the original film’s writer-director Amy Heckerling and producer Robert Lawrence.

Clueless is coming home,” said Jane Wiseman, Head of Originals for Paramount+. “Thirty-one years ago, Alicia Silverstone’s Cher Horowitz captivated audiences with her signature chic style, sharp wit and relentless optimism, helping make Clueless a box office hit and instant pop culture classic. We’re especially proud to be filming this much-anticipated series in Los Angeles, honoring its starring role in the original film while investing in the city’s exceptional talent and crews.”
