Powerpuff buttercup
Have any cast members spoken out about reshooting the pilot? As the series goes in for an apparently much-needed polish, here’s what else we know so far. Yet, with Dove Cameron and Yana Perrault still attached as Bubbles and Buttercup, there's a chance Powerpuff could still be The CW’s next miracle. It seems the show’s costumes will switch between the superhero look and a real-world update, but the disconnect is not encouraging for a show that’s apparently grappling for solid ground. The cognitive dissonance at the heart of the series was present from the first photos released from set the images were roundly teased for their awkward depictions of the girls’ iconic blue, green, and pink dresses, tube socks and Mary Janes. Much of the struggle likely can be attributed to the show's very premise: re-inventing the peppy, innocent, kindergarten-aged Powerpuffs for Powerpuff, which features an older, more contemporary group of sisters who sport moto jackets and unaddressed trauma.

Since then, the apparent plague on the production has only gotten worse: The headlining trio are down a pastel-colored super-heroine as Chloe Bennet exits her role as Blossom.įor those curious about what exactly led to this mess, the details aren't quite clear. Per Deadline, the highly anticipated production will reshoot its pilot, apparently due to difficulties adapting the live-action series from a cartoon.
The CW’s Powerpuff Girl series, featuring the beloved ’90s cartoon characters as disillusioned twenty-somethings, began filming its pilot in Atlanta in April 2021, only to be hit by some surprising news in May: The show would not go to series-at least, not yet. The situation is getting increasing rough for Powerpuff.
