Live-action adaptations of beloved animated shows are becoming another hot commodity, following the success of shows like Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender and Cowboy Bebop (despite mixed reviews, both shows pulled in serious viewing figures). The CW was also looking to capitalize on that popularity with a live-action adaptation of Cartoon Network’s beloved The Powerpuff Girls. However, any attempts at transforming sugar, spice, and everything nice into live-action were halted in 2023 when the show was officially canceled. Two years later, a trailer for the CW’s canceled Powerpuff Girls show has leaked online…and it’s probably a good thing it was axed.
