The producer of the show Greg Berlanti whose previous projects have been Riverdale and Arrowverse had joined hands with Diablo Cody and Heather Regnier for writing the pilot episode. As no updates have come forward, speculations have been made about the show, some of them saying, this might be the end of the show.

Other than these changes no other news has come out. Though the uncertainty around this project still remains of whether it would actually go forward or not. This could also be because of the new deal by Warner Media and Paramount where they are currently looking to sell the CW.

This has for sure changed certain things around, beginning with how the network would operate with new original programming. We can also not forget about the Warner Bros. Discovery merger that was completed just last month. The CW Upfronts are said to take place on Thursday, May 19 and fans are looking forward to it in the hopes of finding out more about the Powerpuff live-action remake.
