Powerpuff is one of the pilots in contention for a spot on The CW’s 2021-2022 schedule, bringing the classic Powerpuff Girls characters to live action and adulthood.
The CW has released an official first look image of the main trio from the Powerpuff pilot, which stars Chloe Bennett as “Blossom,” Dove Cameron as “Bubbles,” and Yana Perrault as “Buttercup.” Take a look at it below:
Here are official character descriptions for the trio:
CHLOE BENNET as BLOSSOM UTONIUM: Though she was a spunky, conscientious, Little-Miss-Perfect child who holds several advanced degrees, Blossom’s repressed kiddie-superhero trauma has left her feeling anxious and reclusive, and she aims to become a leader again — this time on her own terms.
DOVE CAMERON as BUBBLES UTONIUM: Bubbles’ sweet-girl disposition won America’s hearts as a child. She still sparkles as an adult, but her charming exterior belies an unexpected toughness and wit. She’s initially more interested inrecapturing her fame than saving the world, but she just might surprise us and herself.
YANA PERRAULT as BUTTERCUP UTONIUM: Buttercup was the rebellious badass of The Powerpuff Girls in its heyday. More sensitive than her tough exterior suggests, Buttercup has spent her adulthood trying to shed her Powerpuff Girl identity and live an anonymous life.
The pilot also stars Donald Faison as “Professor Drake Utonium,” Nicholas Podany as “Jojo Mondel,” and Robyn Lively as “Sara Bellum.”
In Powerpuff, the Powerpuff Girls used to be America’s pint-sized superheroes, 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? Based on the original Cartoon Network animated series and characters created by Craig McCracken. The project is written and executive produced by Heather Regnier and Diablo Cody. Maggie Kiley is directing. Executive Producers also include Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and David Madden, and Erika Kennair is also a producer on this project.
