Series makers seem to have their eyes on cartoons for children.
A US broadcaster now also wants to produce a live version of the "Powerpuff Girls".
When Netflix uploaded the first trailer for "Fate: The Winx Saga" *, many YouTube users were not particularly enthusiastic.
Not everyone could
relate to
the gloomy interpretation of the colorful
"Winx Club"
series
.
After the first season was released, a large part of the reviews were not as negative as initially thought.
Real film adaptations of well-known works are tricky.
There is always the risk that fans of the originals will not be satisfied with new editions.
But that doesn't stop filmmakers and series makers from trying anyway.
Most recently, for example, the American broadcaster The CW announced that it would set up a live action series of the
“Powerpuff Girls”
.
“Powerpuff Girls” are to get a live-action series - and this one could be unusual
Anyone hoping for an exact remake of the cartoon series could be disappointed.
As
reported by
Variety
magazine, among others
, The CW's plans to remake look a little different.
Accordingly, the new production should take place many years after the adventures of the three protagonists
Blossom
,
Blubbles
and
Buttercup
.
The heroines are now "disaffected women between the ages of 20 and 30 who are angry that they had to give up all of their childhoods to fight criminals," writes
Variety
.
You don't intend to take on evil again.
However, new dangers are looming in the coming series, which the
Powerpuff Girls
can only face together.
It is not clear from the description whether the planned production will maintain the cheerful tone of the original.
Since the protagonists have aged and The CW may want to appeal to a more adult audience, fans shouldn't expect
to see a
motley
version of the
PowerPuff Girls
.
It is well known that The CW has staged “Riverdale” much darker, although the series is based on the comparatively harmless Archie Comics.
So far, the broadcaster has only ordered one pilot episode of the real-life version.
This means that production is not yet dry.
If the pilot is not convincing, the shooting of the 1st season could fail.
It is also unclear which actresses will take on the leading roles.

"Powerpuff Girls" as a live action series: which streaming service could it appear on?
The production of the live-action series is currently still in the starting blocks.
Should there be a first season, it is not yet possible to predict who will broadcast the episodes in this country.
Since
Netflix
has already secured the rights to the The CW series
"Riverdale"
, the streaming service could strike in this case as well.
