‘Powerpuff Girls‘ Series to Star Chloe Bennet, Dove Cameron, and Yana Perrault. The CW is developing a live-action series based on the Cartoon Network animated series, The Powerpuff Girls. Variety shared that the new series “[will follow] the titular superheroes [who] are now disillusioned twenty-somethings [that] resent having lost their childhood to crime fighting. Will they agree to reunite now that the world needs them more than ever?”
This week, The CW has announced actresses Chloe Bennet (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Dove Cameron (Liv and Maddie, Descendants), and Yana Perrault (Broadway/Musician) had been cast as the leading ladies for the series.

Chloe Bennet will portray Blossom Utonium, Dove Cameron has been cast as Bubbles Utonium, and Yana Perrault is making her TV debut as Buttercup Utonium. The series descriptions of the ex-superheroes reads:
“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.”
“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 in recapturing her fame than saving the world, but she just might surprise us and herself.”
“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.”
