The Girls have grown

We might very soon get to see a live-action series of the classic cartoon series, Powerpuff Girls. Reportedly, the series is in development at The CW.

In the new version of the series, it is speculated that the superheroes are now in their 20s, having lost their childhood to fighting crime. Now, will they agree to reunite when the world needs them more than ever? The project hails from writers and executive producers Heather Regnier and Diablo Cody.

Reportedly, Warner Bros. Television will produce the series. The original Powerpuff Girls was created by Craig McCracken. In that series, Professor Utonium accidentally created the elementary school aged super team of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup by combining sugar, spice, and everything nice with the mysterious Chemical X. The show ran for six seasons between 1998 and 2005. The show also had its movie released in 2002, while a rebooted animated series began airing on Cartoon Network in 2016.
