CW Orders Pilots, Including Live-Action “Powerpuff Girls” Reboot, for 2021-2022 Season

by Emily Nagle

The 4400 will be receiving a reboot in the 2021-2022 television season.

The CW has ordered three pilot episodes and one series for the 2021-2022 television season.

The 4400 has been picked up by the network for a reboot series that will be written and executive produced by Ariana Jackson, and produced by CBS Studios. The series, originally airing on USA Network from 2004 to 2007, is a science fiction show following 4400 people who mysteriously disappeared without a trace a hundred years prior, then reappeared without having aged and with no recollection of the time they were gone. When it is discovered that some of them have powers, it’s up to the government to contain them while they determine why they have returned to Earth.

Also returning to television are the Powerpuff Girls. A live-action series based on the Cartoon Network show has been in the works since August, and will reimagine the kindergarteners as women in their 20s. Having lost their childhood to fighting crime in the city of Townsville, Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup must decide whether it’s time to reunite when the world needs them more than ever. The series was written by Heather Regnier and Diablo Cody, and has no involvement with Craig McCracken, the creator of the original series.

Naomi is an adaptation of a 2019 DC comic series revolving around a small-town teenage girl who must uncover the origins of a supernatural event that shakes her hometown. It will be produced by Ava DuVernay, who has teamed up with Arrow writer Jill Blankenship to write the series.

The last show in The CW’s order for 2021-2022 is an untitled religious dramedy written by Claire Rothrock and Ryann Weir about two nuns who start out as strangers and bond as they determine their own faith and where they belong in the Catholic church. Both Rothrock and Weir will be executive producing the series along with Jennie Snyder Urman and Joanna Klein, and CBS Studios will be the studio.
