Leaked ‘Trailer’ for CW’s Scrapped ‘Powerpuff Girls’ Pilot Shows an Alcoholic Bubbles
The Diablo Cody adaptation starring Chloe Bennet, Dove Cameron and Yana Perrault was scrapped in 2023 following Nexstar's acquisition of the network The post Leaked ‘Trailer’ for CW’s Scrapped ‘Powerpuff Girls’ Pilot Shows an Alcoholic Bubbles appeared first on TheWrap.

A so-called trailer for The CW’s canceled “Powerpuff Girls” live-action show is circulating online — and let’s just say it’s easy to see why this one didn’t make it to air.
Sources from The CW confirmed to Variety that the video does indeed feature footage from the scrapped series. However, an official trailer for the pilot was never actually made. Instead, the video that’s circulating online as its “trailer” appears to be a fan-made collection of several scenes from the project put together, including an alcoholic Bubbles drunkenly burping and Buttercup refusing to wear her green dress because it’s “normative and ass-ugly.”
This too-real show was ordered in 2020. In the live-action series, the citizens of Townsville turn against the crime-fighting trio, causing them to break up. But when darkness returns to their home, Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup reunite. The series was written by Heather Regnier and Diablo Cody with Chloe Bennet, Dove Cameron and Yana Perrault playing Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup, respectively. Donald Faison also played the role of the girls’ father, Professor “Drake” Utonium.
