The CW’s pilot of Powerpuff, the live-action series based on the popular Cartoon Network animated show created by Craig McCracken The Powerpuff Girls is being re-shot.
“The reason you do pilots is because sometimes things miss, and this was just a miss. We believe in the cast completely. We believe in Diablo [Cody] and Heather [Regnier], the writers. We believe in the auspices of Greg Berlanti and Warner [Bros. TV] studios,” said The CW chairman and CEO Mark Pedowitz.
“In this case, the pilot didn’t work. But because we see there’s enough elements in there, we wanted to give it another shot. So that’s why we didn’t want to go forward with what we had. Tonally, it might’ve felt a little too campy. It didn’t feel as rooted in reality as it might’ve felt. But again, you learn things when you test things out. And so in this case, we felt, let’s take a step back and go back to the drawing board,” he continued.
Powerpuff stars Chloe Bennet, Dove Cameron, Yana Perrault, and Donald Faison. The series follows the girls who spent their childhood fighting crime and are now 20-somethings years old
