In 2023, The CW's live-action Powerpuff Girls series faced cancellation after production troubles. A leaked teaser, since removed by Warner Bros. Entertainment from the "Lost Media Busters" YouTube channel, offers a glimpse into the show's now-defunct vision. The three-and-a-half-minute trailer depicts the grown-up Powerpuff Girls—Blossom (Chloe Bennet), Bubbles (Dove Cameron), and Buttercup (Yana Perrault)—navigating adulthood. Blossom is stressed and burnt out, Bubbles struggles with alcohol, and Buttercup embraces rebellion and challenges gender norms.
The CW confirmed the footage's authenticity to Variety, clarifying that this particular trailer was never intended for public release. Initially announced in 2020, the series' cancellation in 2023 followed setbacks including a poorly received pilot and Bennet's departure. CW chairman and CEO Mark Pedowitz explained the pilot's failure, stating it was "a miss" tonally, feeling "too campy" and lacking the desired grounded realism. He emphasized the network's belief in the cast and creative team, highlighting the decision to rework the concept rather than proceed with the initial pilot.
