The Big Picture The city of Townsville will not be saved any time soon as The CW's live-action of The Powerpuff Girls was officially canceled before it was ever even released. Simply titled Powerpuff, the canned series joined the contentious Batgirl as yet another female-led superhero story to be canceled by Warner Bros.
Release Date November 18, 1998 Creator Craig McCracken Cast Cathy Cavadini , Elizabeth Daily , Tara Strong , Tom Kenny , Tom Kane Seasons 6 'The Powerpuff Girls' Fans Were Not Onboard With a Live-Action Adaptation Ever since its first episode premiered in 1998, The Powerpuff Girls has amassed a dedicated following.
'Powerpuff's Completed Pilot Episode Was Thrown Out Close Production on Powerpuff initially appeared to be progressing smoothly. It became clear right away that the series would be a more mature take on The Powerpuff Girls, both literally and figuratively. That's evident by the much older but still rock-solid trio cast to play the titular heroes. They included Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Well ... it certainly has spice, but not so much sugar, and everything nice. The pilot script essentially tries to do the same thing that The CW did with the Archie IP with Riverdale, taking these established light-hearted characters and making them far darker. While we're not talking Velma levels of nihilism, the pilot was filled with dark social commentary that feels unbecoming of The Powerpuff Girls.
