A first look image at the Powerpuff Girls in the live-action CW reboot has been revealed. Hailing from Juno writer Diablo Cody and CW mega-producer Greg Berlanti, Powerpuff will bring Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup to life on screen. Originally airing on Cartoon Network, Powerpuff Girls ended its initial run 15 years ago, but the characters have remained popular in syndication. Now, The CW is set to bring the iconic superpowered trio to life with their upcoming series.

Chloe Bennet, Dove Cameron, and Yana Perrault are set to play Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, respectively. Scrubs star Donald Faison is on board as Professor Utonium, with Tom Kenny reprising his role as the narrator of the series. Filming on Powerpuff Girls kicked off last week for what is likely a fall 2021 debut, and while plot details are otherwise scarce, at least one iconic villain from the animated series is primed to return in some form.

With set photos from the pilot showing an early look at Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, The CW has gone ahead and released an official first look at the trio via Variety. Bennet takes the center position as Blossom, flanked by Cameron and Perrault as Bubbles and Buttercup. Each actress is wearing the iconic color associated with their respective characters, and they're flanked by animated clouds that hew closely to the aesthetic of the animated series.

The photos from Powerpuff Girls' set showing the actresses in costume were met with a lot of criticism from fans who felt the outfits didn't live up to their expectations. It's unclear if this first look will do anything to quell their worries, but it's also way too early to tell how well done the show will be. Without even a trailer or clip showing the trio in action, there's no telling how the live-action version will translate on screen. Luckily, The CW has a knack for handling people with superpowers.

Arguably the network's biggest success is its Arrowverse shows. With eight series comprising the highly popular interconnected universe, it's clear that The CW knows what it's doing in adapting animated properties for live-action. Powerpuff Girls will have a lot of expectations regardless - it's a source of nostalgia for an entire generation who grew up on the show's distinctive take on three girls with strange abilities. Still, it's way too early to judge how successful the network will be in adapting Powerpuff Girls and as production goes on, fans are sure to get more glimpses at the characters ahead of the show's premiere.
