Live-action Powerpuff Girls series that sees the girls as adults who resent their crime-fighting childhoods, ordered by the CW

The CW has ordered a pilot for a live-action Powerpuff Girls series.

This series, which was in development as of last August, will center on the girls who are now disillusioned twenty-something-year-olds who resent that they lost their childhood to years of fighting crime, according to Variety. The series will answer the question of whether or not the former team reunites once more when their crime-fighting skills are needed again.

This series comes by way of writers and executive producers, Heather Regnier and Diablo Cody, with the latter executive producing under the banner of Vita Vera Films. Regnier worked on the recent Veronica Mars revival, iZombie, and Sleepy Hollow while Cody is best known for writing Juno and working on Jennifer's Body and Young Adult.

Greg Berlanti, David Madden, and Sarah Schechter will executive produce the show under the Berlanti Productions banner. Erika Kennair and Warner Bros. Television will produce the show.

The Powerpuff Girls ran for six seasons for a total of 78 episodes between 1998 and 2005. The original animated series was created by Craig McCracken for Cartoon Network and centered around three superhero crimefighters by the names of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. These girls were created when Professor Utonium combined "sugar, spice, and everything nice with the mysterious Chemical X," as the show's intro reminded you with every episode.

This is just going to be very disappointing.

I heard the green one will be transitioning to a man.

Yay more pandering to millennial nostagia addicts and Zoomers who romanticize that period of time.

I grew up in this era of the late 90s/early 2000s. It was fun but also the start of the decline of America. I think people need to move on.

Meh. I'd rather see a live action Sailor Moon movie

It doesn't count unless he also is transitioning to Blackness, like I did.

If there's one thing that draws me to a show, it's that it stars twentysomethings who are full of resentment and feel put upon.

It was right in front of them.

I personally never paid any attention to the Powerpuff Girls during it's heyday. But it's obvious that The CW in the business of taking franchises that people remember fondly from childhood and fucking them up with lots of smut & all of today's PC bullshit.

They duped me once a few years back when I foolishly thought there was no way they could screw up Nancy Drew. I immediately saw how naive I was when during the first frame of the first episode they had Nancy riding her boyfriend's big black cock in the back of a dingy garage, taking a massive creampie and immediately dashing off to make her waitressing shift at a local diner. Without even a quick whore bath to wipe her leaking cunt.

That wouldn't even have been so bad if they had allowed Nancy to remain an intelligent young woman with a talent for crime-solving. But no, CW's Nancy Drew is a blithering idiot who couldn't solve a crossword puzzle, let alone a crime! Horrible show. Horrible network!

That's....graphic.

Which one is “queer?”

WTF? I actually hated Powerpuff Girls back then because of how overexposed they were, but I loved Ed, Edd, & Eddy. (I still watch it occasionally) But this just proves Warner has no fucking idea what to do with their own properties beyond fucking them up beyond recognition. There was that awful Scooby-Doo reboot last year and I won't go into what they've done to Superman. What's next? A self-obsessed modern day twenty-something Dorothy Gale whining directly into the camera to her off screen therapist because she keeps seeing visions of the three guys and munchkins and flying monkeys? Is she losing her mind? Will she finally get to quietly live her loser adult life, working on an adult sex phone line, find a nice pansexual girl to settle down with and transition to the man she always felt she is or will she accept her destiny as the one and only true savior of the merry ol' land of Oz? Find out in this new Greg Berlanti production this fall on the CW! It's all about the shoes!

This Powerpuff thing already sounded like a idiotic pile of shit, but then I read the Berlanti name and that finished it. I should have known. Again, I'm not a fan, but why can't they just leave it alone for the people who do love it or just let it die already? Thank God Danny Antonucci has enough ownership they won't be doing stupid things like this to the Eds.

We watch in bed the older Powerpuff cartoons Saturday mornings here in Mar-a-Lago. Daddy Orange likes Bubbles. Young Junior prefers Buttercup. I am partial to Bubbles.

Mattie and Nestor like Blossom the most.

R15 you know it's going to be Buttercup.

R16 Superman is a decent show so far compared to the rest of the Arrowverse.

I LOVE the Tyler Hoechlin SUPERMAN series!!!

At least there are no "queer" or "bisexual" women on that show... yet.

Of course, no gay men!

I think they're going to play it safe. But it would be cool if Jon or Lana ended up being bi.

Jon is an obvious fucking power bottom who wants Daddy's Super-Cock!

This has an "I accidently sent my porn script to CW rather than MindGeek" feel. And how does Berlanti end up as a producer on everything over there?

Are the RowdyRuff Boys gonna be in it? That's all this site cares about!

Graphic but true. Don't take my word for it, go watch it for yourself. Pure trash. I found it through my Firestick on the CW app.

The costumes are incredibly cheap-looking. Did they come from the Halloween Store?

R26 I'm struggling enough as it is with Batwoman's abysmal writing.

R27 they must have. Like how lazy can you get?!
