Today, Variety announced that The CW is developing a live-action series based on Cartoon Network’s The Powerpuff Girls.

Will they agree to reunite now that the world needs them more than ever?

The project is being developed by writers Heather Regnier and Diablo Cody (Jennifers Body, Juno). Like the updated series Riverdale long time producer Greg Berlanti (The Flash, Arrow) will produce this project as well. Along with Sarah Schechter and David Madden of Berlanti Productions.
