“It is described as a baby pink and bisexual blue-tinted, tiny sunglasses-wearing, oat milk latté and Adderall-fueled look at what happens when the high school queen bee Cher disappears and her lifelong No. 2 Dionne steps into Cher’s vacant Air Jordans,” according to Deadline.
The original film grossed $56.1 million in the United States. It was followed by a spin-off television sitcom, and a series of books. The three-series show ran from 1996 to 1999.
“To be a part of such an iconic film is a blessing. I feel blessed. I really do,” Dash told Elle magazine back in 2014. “The whole thing was a dream project for me. I mean the words on the page, [director] Amy Heckerling, Alicia Silverstone, Donald Faison, Brittany Murphy—we all had so much fun together. I have nothing bad to say about that whole experience. What you see on-screen is exactly what happened every day on set.,” she added of her filming experience.
Based on her recent arrest for an apparent domestic violence incident, Dash’s involvement in this show seems unlikely.
