A live-action Powerpuff Girls series is in development at The CW.
The series will be written and executive produced by Heather Regnier and Diablo Cody, with Berlanti Productions' Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and David Madden also executive producing and Warner Bros. Television producing.
Created by Craig McCracken, The Powerpuff Girls debuted on Cartoon Network in 1998 and was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions for the first four seasons and Cartoon Network Studios for the remaining two. The series centers on three superpowered, kindergarten-aged girls -- Bubbles, Blossom and Buttercup -- who live in the fictional suburb of Townsville, USA with their father, Professor Utonium, who creates them by accidentally adding "Chemical X" to a mixture intended to spawn the perfect little girls. The three pint-sized heroes use their impressive array of abilities to battle such recurring foes as Mojo Jojo and Him.
The original run of Powerpuff Girls lasted until 2005, with a feature film released in 2002 and a CGI special in 2014. Then, in 2016, the property was rebooted by Cartoon Network, running for three seasons before concluding in 2019.
