A new live-action series based on the original Cartoon Network animated series, The Powerpuff Girls, is officially in the works!
The live-action adaptation will reportedly feature grown up versions of the crime-fighting kindergarten-aged trio, with Heather Regnier, Diablo Cody, Warner Bros. TV and Berlanti Productions helming the project.
“The Powerpuff Girls used to be America’s pint-sized superheroes,” Deadline reported.
“Now they’re disillusioned twentysomethings who resent having lost their childhood to crime fighting. Will they agree to reunite now that the world needs them more than ever?”
The original series created by Craig McCracken aired back in 1998 and follows the story of the superpowered girls who were accidentally created after Professor Utonium mixed sugar, spice and everything nice with the mysterious Chemical X.
Fans of the animated series are having mixed reactions to the news with many feeling excited for the series while others are afraid that the show would turn out to be bad and “just turn into some angsty teen drama”.

I...I don't know how to feel about this, especially after seeing the premise. I mean, there IS a potential for this to work, if written well. But some things should just be left alone, and I fear that the CW will just turn into some angsty teen drama. #Powerpuffgirls #thecw https://t.co/jzOIBmqzhL

If #TheFlash can have Gorilla Grodd as a recurring villain, I fully expect this live-action #powerpuffgirls series to give Mojo Jojo the same care and attention, if not more so. pic.twitter.com/HKwfYVNYfp
