CW Boss: Powerpuff Pilot Came In 'Too Campy,' Will Go Back to Drawing Board
By Matt Webb Mitovich / May 25 2021, 11:02 AM PDT

“Sometimes things miss, and this was just a miss,” CW Chairman & CEO Mark Pedowitz told TVLine during a Tuesday conference call. “We believe in the cast completely, we believe in Diablo [Cody] and Heather [Regnier], the writers, and we believe in the auspices of [executive producer] Greg Berlanti and Warner [Bros.] Studios. In this case, the pilot didn’t work. But because we see enough elements in there, we’re going to give it another shot. We didn’t want to go forward with what we had.”

Powerpuff stars Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Chloe Bennet, Descendants‘ Dove Cameron, Broadway vet Yana Perrault and Scrubs‘ Donald Faison as, respectively, Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup and Professor Utonium.

Asked by TVLine how exactly the first crack at a pilot came up short, Pedowitz said, “Tonally, it might have felt a little too campy. It didn’t feel as rooted in reality as it might have. But again, you learn things when you test things out. And in this case, we felt like, ‘Let’s take a step back and go back to the drawing board.'”

As the network boss noted, “This is a powerful property, it has engaged a lot of interest, and we want to get it right before we put it out.”

Ie: Not enough love triangles for CW
Or melodramatic bullshyt

How could this have gotten into production with this script and not be campy? Did he not actually read the script?

 

[OVER]

not for nothing, campy could've worked

rooted in reality has made certain shows/movies boring

They should've tried to capture the tone that Stargirl has. Somewhat campy but sincere enough that it earns its camp.

Wait a second...there are a bunch of dudes in here that know the Powerpuff Girls BY NAME?

Powerpuff girls was funny as fukk my guy, I watched that shyt all the time growing up

 

[Optimus Prime]

I was wondering when she was going quit

I was wondering when she was going quit

She said “I was on Agents of Shield, I’m above this.”

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Yeahhhhhhhhhh that show isn't making it on air and if it does, then it's not going to be with the same cast.

It's one of those shows that are better served as animated rather than live action. Why they think otherwise, I have no clue

Called it

I was wondering when she was going quit

man FUKK THIS

 

[Ironman]

They couldn't just animate and let them be the voice actors?

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Animated doesn’t have a place on the CW and the animated reboot ended back in 2019 so it’s kind of too early to go that route again. I expect Dove Cameron or Donald Faison to dip out next and the project is scrapped altogether.

I’m surprised it took this long.

Live-Action Powerpuff Girls, Diggle’s Justice U Among Pre-Nexstar Projects No Longer in Development at The CW

It's official: The CW is no longer developing a live-action Powerpuff Girls series, David Ramsey's "Justice U" or other pre-Nexstar pilots.

Powerpuff is officially powered down.

A live-action take on the Powerpuff Girls is no longer being redeveloped at The CW, TVLine has confirmed. The same goes for the Arrowverse offshoot Justice U, a female-led Zorro series, Jake Chang (which was to be based on a new-ish Archie Comics character), or any other prospective series left over from former CW president Mark Pedowitz’s regime.

“We’ve already given those back to the studios,” Brad Schwartz, The CW’s President of Entertainment, told TVLine after the network’s Thursday morning Upfront presentation, “so they’re free to develop those and sell them anywhere.”

 

[Brandeezy]

Watch PowerPuff go to Netflix, that's a show in their wheelhouse.
