Clueless is a Paramount Pictures comedy franchise created by Amy Heckerling. The franchise itself originally started as a 1995 American comedy film by Amy Heckerling and starring Alicia Silverstone. And then started as the 1996 subsequent television series right after the film's release. Cult-classic "Clueless" (1995) is a modern retelling of a Jane Austen novel. "Clueless" is loosely based on Jane Austen's 1815 novel, "Emma."

In 1996, the producers created a spin-off television series, which followed parallel storylines of Cher and her friends. Several cast members from the film went on to star in the series, with the notable exceptions of Silverstone (who went on to sign a film deal with Columbia-TriStar worth $10 million) and Rudd (whose film career began to take off). Silverstone was replaced in the series with actress Rachel Blanchard.

In October 2019, it was announced that CBS would be adapting the film into a drama series. The series will be centered around Dionne after Cher goes missing, and is described by Deadline as a "baby pink and bisexual blue-tinted, tiny sunglasses-wearing, oat milk latte and Adderall-fueled look at what happens when the high school queen bee Cher disappears and her lifelong number two Dionne steps into Cher's vacant Air Jordans."[1] On August 14, 2020, it was moved to NBCUniversal's streaming service known as Peacock.[2] In May 2021, it was reported that the series would not be moving forward at Peacock and would be redeveloping at CBS Studios.[3]
