‘The Powerpuff Girls’: Trailer of Cancelled Live-Action Reboot Leaks Online, Starring Chloe Bennet, Dove Cameron, and Yana Perrault – and Fans Are Relieved It Got Axed! (Watch Video)

In 2020, The CW announced a reboot of the popular cartoon series The Powerpuff Girls as a live-action show, titled simply Powerpuff. Chloe Bennet, Dove Cameron, and Yana Perrault were cast as Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, respectively, while Donald Faison of Scrubs fame was cast as Professor 'Drake' Utonium, and Nicholas Podany as Joseph 'Jojo' Mondel Jr, the son of Mojo Jojo. A script for the series leaked online, sparking negative reactions from fans. After Chloe Bennet dropped out due to scheduling conflicts, The CW cancelled the series in 2023. However, it appears the makers had shot enough content, as a full trailer for the show has now leaked online and is going viral. Chloe Bennet Leaves CW's The Powerpuff Girls Series Over Scheduling Conflicts.

Netizens' Reactions on Leaked Trailer

'This is the Worst Thing'

'Insultingly Bad'

The Powerpuff girls CW live action show is so insultingly bad that it's brilliant. This could've been The Room of TV shows. https://t.co/bhwp5FaeoX pic.twitter.com/WAr5HsfIDu

'God-awful'

So glad they pulled the plug on this. The premise of "adult Powerpuff girls that are disillusioned with their superhero childhood" isn't a bad concept by itself and could have been done really well - but holy shit this is god-awful. https://t.co/8Ied4WZ8g9

'Hollow Shell'

they were seriously going to give us an average fucking supernatural sitcom that wore the Powerpuff Girls name like it was a hollow shell https://t.co/S2chBAafDe

'May It Stay Dead Forever'

This is so awful. Thank you to whatever God made sure this died. And may it stay dead forever. And everyone who thought “great idea!” doesn’t continue to work.

And hearing the “hurr durr the cartoon white washed us hurr durr” was way more offensive than just reading about it. https://t.co/HcLmA3FTbS pic.twitter.com/AIXtI31OG1
