The CW is developing a live-action version of the popular superhero animated series PowerPuff Girls from the late 90s. The shooting commenced a month ago. However, it is now reported that the show will reshoot its pilot episode causing a delay in its premiere. 

Powerpuff Girls Live-Action Show put on hold as Pilot is in redevelopment

According to TVLine, the live-action Powerpuff pilot is being reworked and redeveloped off-cycle at The CW. It results in the series being moved from its Fall 2021 release date. Currently, there is no information on why the pilot is being reworked. The cast and crew will remain attached to the project. It is assumed that the studios might not be happy with the final result and don't want to ruin the classic superheroes in their first live-action outing. 

Powerpuff Girls Pilot casts Chloe Bennet (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Dove Cameron (Descendants), and Yana Perrault (Jagged Little Pill) as Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, respectively. They are seen in their iconic colours blue, pink and green. They used to be America’s pint-sized superheroes. Now they are disillusioned twenty-somethings who resent having lost their childhood to crimefighting. Will they agree to reunite now that the world needs them more than ever is the question.
