Live-action 'Powerpuff Girls' no longer in development at The CW

The CW has officially scrapped the live-action "Powerpuff Girls."

Other projects that were canceled include the Arrowverse spinoff "Justice U, " and the Archie Comics adaptation "Jake Chang."

"We've already given those back to the studios," Brad Schwartz, The CW’s President of Entertainment, told TVLine, "so they're free to develop those and sell them anywhere."

The pilot of "Powerpuff Girls" was shot in 2021, but had to be redeveloped because actress Chloe Bennet, who was supposed to play Blossom, exited the show.

But now The CW has pulled the plug on the show entirely.

"Powerpuff Girls" is an animated kids' show by Craig McCracken. It follows the team of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, who were accidentally created by Professor Utonium when he mixed in Chemical X with sugar, spice, and everything nice.

The original show ran from 1998 to 2005. —JCB, GMA Integrated News
