Alicia Silverstone as Cher Horowitz holding shopping bags in Clueless

Hannah covers horror, sci-fi, and games at Collider, where she writes news and features, reviews new releases, and interviews the people who make them. She’s helping build out Collider’s gaming coverage, with Pokémon as one of her specialties. If she isn’t writing about a monster, she’s probably watching one on a tape from her VHS collection.

When Mr. Hall tells Travis Birkenstock he’s been late to class 38 times in Clueless, Travis takes it as an opportunity to give an acceptance speech. He thanks his parents for never giving him a ride, the Los Angeles bus drivers for taking a chance on him, and the McDonald’s crew responsible for his Egg McMuffins. In a movie full of teenagers who care deeply about how they’re perceived, Travis is delighted to be recognized for something everyone else would rather keep quiet.

Paramount+ announced in July that Alicia Silverstone would return as Cher Horowitz, now a successful businesswoman with a daughter entering high school. That puts Cher on the other side of a dynamic she spent much of the original movie trying to manage. She could talk a teacher into reconsidering a grade. Getting a teenager to take her advice might be a harder sell. Now one of the classmates who knew Cher back then is coming back, too.

Breckin Meyer confirmed that he’ll reprise his role as Travis Birkenstock and write for the six-episode Clueless sequel series on Paramount+. Speaking in a new interview, Meyer said he’s already been in the writers’ room and has enjoyed figuring out what the character he played in 1995 would say today. Reading the new story helped convince him to come back. “Oh, that’s actually pretty damn interesting, so let’s delve into that,” he recalled thinking.

REVEAL MY ERA →

Drop The Needle You Belong In…

Four decades, four completely different ideas of what music was even for. Here is the one you were built for, what it would have asked of you, and what it would have given you back.

The Sixties

You belong in the only decade that genuinely believed a song could change something, and then kept finding evidence for it. The Sixties is where pop music stopped being entertainment and started being an argument.

You are an idealist who would rather be involved in something unfinished than comfortable in something settled.
Motown, the British Invasion and the whole folk revival happened inside about ten years, which is a rate of change nobody has matched since.
Sam Mendes is releasing four Beatles films in April 2028, one for each member, which is the biggest bet anybody has ever placed on this decade.
The catch is that the decade promised more than it delivered, and the people who lived it have been arguing about that ever since.

The Seventies

You belong in the decade with no interest whatsoever in restraint. The Seventies gave you glam, disco, punk and stadium rock at the same time, and the only thing they agreed on was that more was better.

You want the night to be worth talking about, and you have never once left a good time early.
This is the decade of the great transformation act, where Bowie changed persona every eighteen months and everybody else tried to keep up.
Disco and punk arrived within a year of each other as two completely opposite answers to the same boredom.
You would have loved it and it would have cost you something, which is roughly the deal this decade offered everybody.

The Eighties

You belong in the decade where how it looked became as important as how it sounded, and the people who understood that immediately became enormous. MTV rewrote the job description overnight and you would have read the memo first.

You are ambitious and you see no reason to be shy about it, which this decade regarded as an excellent quality.
A three minute video could break an artist globally, and the ones who treated it as a film rather than an advert are the ones still remembered.
The synthesiser turned the bedroom into a studio and let people with ideas beat people with training.
The risk is that a decade built on image is unkind to anybody who stops keeping up with it.

The Nineties

You belong in the decade that reacted against everything the previous one stood for. The Nineties decided that polish was suspicious and that the only thing worth being was real, whatever that turned out to cost.

You can smell a sales pitch from a long way off, and you have never trusted anything that tries too hard to be liked.
Grunge and hip-hop had almost nothing in common musically and exactly the same instinct, which was to say the true thing plainly.
This is the last decade before the internet flattened everything, so a scene could still belong to one city.
The cost was that a decade obsessed with authenticity put unbearable pressure on the people who best embodied it.

↻ RETAKE THE QUIZ

Breckin Meyer Is Writing the Grown-Up Travis Birkenstock

Meyer sat out the ’90s Clueless sitcom, which brought back several members of the movie’s cast. This time, he gets a hand in deciding how much of the kid who gave that speech is still there three decades later. Meyer also said being a father to two daughters has shaped what he brings to the scripts. That’s a useful perspective for a show about Cher raising a teenager, even as the details of Travis’ adult life are still under wraps.

Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage, and Jordan Weiss are writing and executive producing the event series. Silverstone also executive produces alongside original writer-director Amy Heckerling and original producer Robert Lawrence. For now, Silverstone and Meyer are the two original cast members publicly confirmed to return. There’s plenty of curiosity about who else Cher still talks to after high school. With Meyer in the writers’ room, there’s at least one former classmate who gets to help answer that question himself.

Clueless is slated to begin filming in Los Angeles in 2027. Paramount+ has yet to announce a premiere date.
