Powerpuff Girls fans are in for some bad news as they will have to wait a while longer to live through their childhood memories.
Reports revealed that the live-action reboot of the animated show was declared “a miss” by CW CEO Mark Pedowitz.
Talking to TV Line, he gave details of why the pilot is starting from scratch after the initial results proved to be underwhelming.
"Sometimes things miss, and this was just a miss. We believe in the cast completely, we believe in Diablo [Cody] and Heather [Regnier], the writers, and we believe in the auspices of [executive producer] Greg Berlanti and Warner [Bros] Studios,” he said.
"In this case, the pilot didn't work. But because we see enough elements in there, we're going to give it another shot. We didn't want to go forward with what we had,” he continued.
Touching upon the things that went wrong with the pilot, Pedowitz said: "Tonally, it might have felt a little too campy. It didn't feel as rooted in reality as it might have. But again, you learn things when you test things out. And in this case, we felt like, 'Let's take a step back and go back to the drawing board.’”
"This is a powerful property, it has engaged a lot of interest and we want to get it right before we put it out,” he added.
