Leaked Trailer Reveals Scrapped Live-Action 'Powerpuff Girls' Series

The CW's canceled adaptation faced backlash for its adult-oriented tone and significant departure from the original animated series.

A leaked trailer for the canceled live-action 'Powerpuff Girls' series showcases a darker, adult-oriented take on the beloved cartoon characters.
The show, titled 'Powerpuff,' reimagined Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup as disillusioned adults grappling with their past as child superheroes.
The CW initially ordered a pilot in 2021 but scrapped the project after negative feedback to a leaked script and creative challenges during development.
The leaked footage, featuring Chloe Bennet, Dove Cameron, and Yana Perrault, has drawn widespread criticism online for its tone, dialogue, and production quality.
Despite the backlash, some fans expressed curiosity about the series' potential as a campy, satirical exploration of the original concept.
