Anyone who watched Clueless in 1995 remembers Travis Birkenstock, the skateboarding slacker who won Tai’s heart while Cher tried to steer her elsewhere. Breckin Meyer is bringing him back, and this time he is helping decide what Travis says.
Meyer, 52, shared the news during an appearance on the One Question talk show. “I’ve been in the writers room on this show they’re doing of Clueless, a new version of Clueless,” he said. He called the job the “ultimate version of me doing both things,” since he is “writing on a character that I played 30 years ago, and trying to figure out what he would say now.”
The revival is a six-episode series for Paramount+, with Alicia Silverstone returning as Cher Horowitz. Set 30 years after the film, it finds Cher running a successful business and raising a family until her daughter reaches high school and parenting a teenager leaves her feeling clueless all over again. Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage and Jordan Weiss are writing the series. Schwartz and Savage, the team behind The O.C. and Gossip Girl, are executive producing through their Fake Empire banner alongside Weiss, Silverstone, original writer-director Amy Heckerling and producer Robert Lawrence.

The return marks a change of heart. Meyer admitted he had “been a reluctant guy” and “didn’t do the Clueless TV show as my character when it came out,” he said. He did turn up on that 1990s series, but as a different character named Harrison, while Silverstone never appeared on it at all. This time, the script won him over. He said it struck him as “pretty damn interesting,” and he credited “being in a different place in my life” and “being a dad of two girls” for shaping how he approaches Travis now.
Getting the project back on track took some work, and Meyer’s update arrives months after an earlier version of the revival fell apart. The series was first developed at Peacock in 2025 before that streamer dropped it in April 2026, and Paramount+ picked it up with plans to begin production in Los Angeles in 2027, Parade previously reported.
The original film grossed more than $56 million worldwide on a budget of roughly $12 million and has grown into a cult classic in the decades since. So far, Silverstone and Meyer are the only members of the original cast confirmed for the revival, according to EW, which said it reached out to many of the film’s other original stars. Their return means Cher and Travis will both be back on screen for the first time since 1995, with one of them now helping shape the story from the writers room.
