Clueless is getting a sequel series and yes, Alicia Silverstone as Cher is back: Here¡¯s what you can expect

The year is 2025, and Cher Horowitz is about to school us all over again! That¡¯s right ¡ª Alicia Silverstone is officially making a return as the fashion-forward, eternally quotable queen of Beverly Hills in a brand-new Clueless sequel series. And honestly? This is not a drill. This is a cultural reset.

What is Clueless, and what is the hype about?

For the uninitiated (read: uncultured), Clueless was the 1995 teen rom-com that defined a generation, launched 1000 outfit moodboards, and cemented Alicia as every Gen Z and millennial¡¯s style icon before Pinterest was even a thing. Now, nearly 30 years later, the cult classic is getting a follow-up series, and YES, the original Cher is back. We are totally buggin' ¡ª in the best way possible.

Clueless series will be a sequel!

While there¡¯s still a major air of mystery around the series (read: no confirmation yet if Alicia is reprising Cher or sliding into a different role), Variety has confirmed that the show will indeed be a sequel ¡ª not a remake, not a reboot, but a continuation of the Clueless cinematic universe. The timeline? Post-movie events. The possibilities? Endless.

Silverstone herself seems to be buzzing with excitement. Soon after the announcement dropped, she posted a throwback from the film ¡ª iconic yellow plaid and all ¡ª alongside a cheeky caption that confirmed her feelings: "Totally buggin¡¯¡­ in the best way." A source close to the actress revealed that she has long felt a deep connection to Cher and is thrilled to see where the character could go in this new era.

Where to watch Clueless?

What¡¯s more? This is not the first attempt at bringing Clueless back to life. A 2020 version from Peacock was canned before lift-off. But this time, it is actually happening. No peeking through your fingers required. Production is reportedly underway soon, with streaming details to be announced. For now, fans can revisit the original film, still streaming on major OTT platforms, for the warm fuzzy feels.

And while Legally Blonde might be cooking up a reboot without Reese Witherspoon at the centre (we are still crying), Alicia¡¯s return to Clueless feels like the justice our 90s hearts deserve.
