The sequel series will be an updated version of the show with the heroes now disillusioned twentysomethings who resent having lost their childhood to crime-fighting. So viewers will have to see if the team can reunite now that the world needs them now more than ever.

The Powerpuff Girls sequel series hails from writers and executive producers Heather Regnier and Diablo Cody. Additionally, Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and David Madden will executive produce via Berlanti Productions. Warner Bros. Television will also produce.

This would be yet another adult-oriented reboot of a classic IP at The CW. Berlanti Productions has previously developed Riverdale as a more mature version of the Archie Comics franchise. Additionally, it would fit in with the large number of superhero programs that The CW has developed over the years.
