The CW has begun production on Powerpuff, a live-action sequel series to the 1998 Cartoon Network classic The Powerpuff Girls. The new show will feature the genetically created superheroines as disillusioned 20-somethings who lost their childhood due to crime fighting and they went their separate ways. Now, they must reunite when the world needs them most. Donald Faison has been cast as Professor Utonium, the creator of the girls who must once again become their father figure. 

Nicholas Podany will play Mojo Jojo Jr., the son of one of the most iconic of PG's villains while Robyn Lively will play Sara Bellum and Tom Kenny will reprise his voice as the narrator of the series. 

Marvel's Agents of SHIELD's Chloe Bennett is Blossom, The Descendants' Dove Cameron is Bubbles, and newcomer Yana Perrault is Buttercup.

Oh God, why have you abandon us to this fate?

The test pilot that was shot was deemed "too campy" and not too rooted in reality. So they decided they are going to rework the pilot, but the same cast and crew are staying on, according to CW CEO Mark Pedowitz.

It's a stupid idea. The live-action Josie and the Pussycats movie didn't work. The live-action Jem and the Holograms movie didn't work. What were they thinking?!

Chloe Bennett has exited the series due to schedule conflicts. Shooting on a new pilot was set for Fall, but will now focus on Bennett's replacement as Blossom.
