The CW's live-action adaptation of Powerpuff Girls, titled 'Powerpuff', gained attention in 2021 when a script leaked online, drawing heavy criticism. Feature filmmaker Diablo Cody and producer Greg Berlanti were involved, but a blend of toxic public reaction and corporate restructuring led to its cancellation in 2023. The recently leaked trailer, associated with pilot content, suggests a movie-like storytelling pace that may not have resonated with TV audiences. Meanwhile, a new animated reboot is in the works with Craig McCracken, the original creator, at the helm.
The series faced strong backlash when a script leaked online in 2021, leading to widespread derision and ultimately its cancellation in 2023.
Despite strong talent involved, including Diablo Cody and Greg Berlanti, internal corporate restructuring and toxic public feedback led to the show's demise.
The trailer, likely from a 2021 pilot, suggests a cinematic approach that rushes through plotlines, which might have not translated well on TV.
While the live-action series was canceled, there’s still an animated reboot in development by Hanna-Barbera with the original creator, Craig McCracken.
