Deadline raises the possibility that this new “Clueless” won’t just be a straight remake but could involve “older characters reprising their [original] roles,” while cautioning that “details are minimal” at this early stage of development.

Alicia Silverstone left her role as Cher to Rachel Blanchard in the TV edition, while Stacey Dash, Donald Faison, Elisa Donovan and Sean Holland took part in both.
