The Hollywood Reporter confirms that The CW is moving ahead with three new pilots. Up first is The Powerpuff Girls, a live-action adaptation of the classic Cartoon Network series.
Diablo Cody and Heather Regnier's (Veronica Mars, Sleepy Hollow) take on Craig McCracken's beloved cartoon sees "Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup as disillusioned twentysomethings who resent having lost their childhoods to crime fighting." That essentially makes this a sequel, with Regnier, Cody, Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and David Madden all on board as producers.
As for Naomi, Ava DuVernay and Arrow's Jill Blankenship are adapting Brian Michael Bendis, David F. Walker, and Jamal Campbell's DC Comics series about "a teenage girl who sets out to discover the origins of a supernatural event in her hometown."
Finally, after being announced over two years ago, The 4400 reboot is also officially on the way. As the trade explains, "the new version will focus on 4,400 overlooked, undervalued and marginalized people who disappeared over the past 100 years who are all returned in an instant, having not aged at all and with no idea what happened. They also discover they've been returned with upgrades, and likely for a specific purpose."
There's no mention of The CW's plans for The Lost Boys, Maverick, or a spinoff of The 100. It's clearly still early days for the recently announced Black Lightning spinoff as well.
