“The Powerpuff Girls” could soon fly again. Variety has learned that a live-action version of the classic Cartoon Network series is in development at The CW.

In the updated version of the series, the titular superheroes are now disillusioned twentysomethings who resent having lost their childhood to crime fighting. Will they agree to reunite now that the world needs them more than ever?

The project hails from writers and executive producers Heather Regnier and Diablo Cody. Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and David Madden will executive produce via Berlanti Productions. Warner Bros. Television will produce.
This is gonna be a dumpster fire.

...you know, if Cartoon Network would just broadcast episodes of the original PPG instead of doing another reboot, that would be pretty okay.

It'll be great to have Professor Utonium be portrayed as a villain for forcing the girls to be heroes despite multiple instances of him either stopping them from crime fighting or the Powerpuff Girls actively wanting to fight for Townsville on multiple occasions.

Blech.

Wait, wait, wait... It's a SERIES? On CW?
I honestly thought it was gonna be a movie for CN

The giveaway should have been the fact that it's live action, not a cartoon.
