“We’ve got a trio of terrific actresses at the center of that,” she said. Warner Bros TV Group President Channing Dungey last week spoke about Powerpuff stars Chloe Bennet (Blossom), Dove Cameron (Bubbles) and Yana Perrault (Buttercup) and the challenges adapting the classic pop culture IP has faced. Now they’re disillusioned twentysomethings who resent having lost their childhood to crime fighting. Written and executive produced by Diablo Cody and Heather Regnier, who will do the rewrite, Powerpuff follows the trio that used to be America’s pint-sized superheroes. It was a character that was planted in Nancy Drew, and we also wrote a first episode. “We also like Tom Swift a lot, which was a kind of a planted, not even a planted, spinoff. “We like Our Ladies of Brooklyn a lot,” he said.
In an interview last week, CBS President David Stapf spoke about the studio’s two CW pilots. The CW also has opted not to proceed with millennial nun dramedy Our Ladies of Brooklyn from Jennie Snyder Urman, and Black Lightning spinoff Painkiller.ĬBS Studios, which produces Our Ladies of Brooklyn, is shopping the project to sister streamer Paramount+ and other outlets.

I hear the CW could potentially order a stand-alone pilot based on the script as part of its series consideration. The CBS Studios/Fake Empire-produced project did not do a traditional backdoor pilot instead the character Tom Swift, played by Tian Richards, appeared in a Nancy Drew episode, and the network also ordered a pilot script. Tom Swift, a spinoff of Nancy Drew, remains in consideration. The four leads - Chloe Bennet, Dove Cameron, Yana Perrault and Donald Faison - as well as other cast and the writers-producers all remain on board the project, from Warner Bros TV/Berlanti Prods. Powerpuff, based on the original Cartoon Network animated series, will be reworked and repiloted off-cycle. Ahead of the CW’s fall 2021 schedule announcement tomorrow, the network has made decisions on the bulk of its six 2021 pilots, handing series orders to Naomi and All American: Homecoming.
