Additional Context:
The live-action “Powerpuff Girls” series, which was being developed by Diablo Cody for The CW, ultimately never materialized due to various complications. In an interview with TheWrap, Diablo Cody expressed her disappointment over the project’s cancellation, noting that there were multiple issues that led to the decision.
The series aimed to portray the Powerpuff Girls as disillusioned adults who felt exploited like child stars during their superhero days. The show intended to explore their struggles with Gen Z problems, but this direction proved challenging. Additionally, the original animated series creator, Craig McCracken, criticized the idea of aging the girls up.
The CW’s then-chairman and CEO Mark Pedowitz mentioned that the pilot felt “a little too campy,” and there were difficulties in satisfying fans of the original series. Despite these challenges, Cody believes that a live-action “Powerpuff Girls” could still be a possibility in the future, though she might not be involved in such a project.
