What happened to the live-action Powerpuff Girls?
The live-action adaptations of Powerpuff Girls and Justice U, along with other potential series from the former CW president’s era, are no longer being developed at The CW. The network’s President of Entertainment, Brad Schwartz, confirmed that they have returned the rights to the studios, allowing them to pursue those projects elsewhere.
Instead, The CW, under new ownership, has announced a development slate that includes a Librarians sequel, The Great American Bakeover, Patti Stanger: Millionaire Matchmaker, and The Force. Previous attempts at Powerpuff and Justice U faced creative challenges and were not picked up, while the female-led Zorro series, developed by Robert Rodriguez and Rebecca Rodriguez, had a similar fate after being pursued at NBC.
