News of a confirmed cast also came with a bit more details about each character. Bubbles (Cameron) will come with a newfound toughness and wit, and she's a bit more concerned with becoming famous, the outlet reported. As for Blossom (Bennet), she's dealing with lingering emotions regarding a childhood spent fighting crime, and the series will follow her attempts to return to a leadership role within her friends circle. Buttercup (Perrault) has been living life peacefully as a normal citizen, attempting to shed her identity as a Powerpuff Girl.

The pilot reunites Cameron and Bennet, who previously appeared in the hit ABC-Marvel series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, where they played nemeses. 

Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and David Madden will executive produce the revival via Berlanti Productions. There's no word on a premiere date, but The CW did order a pilot episode of the series, meaning fans will get to see at least one episode before the network decides on a future for the show.

The cast of the Powerpuff Girls live-action reboot celebrated the news on Instagram. Cameron shared a familiar line from the series, writing, “the city of Townsville . is uNDER ATTACK 🔪🧸💕🧪🧬🌡🛁🧨 #diablocody!!!” while Perrault wrote, “this is too dreamy to believe, so many feelings, still processing, on cloud 9.” Bennet kept her feelings short and sweet, just captioning a photo of the announcement with a few exclamation points.  

Perrault is a Broadway star, most recently appearing in the Alanis Morissette musical Jagged Little Pill. The reboot of Powerpuff Girls will mark her TV debut.
