The show is written by Diablo Cody and Heather Regnier and directed by Maggie Kiley, based on the original Cartoon Network animated series.

Here’s a plot summary: “Powerpuff (fka The Powerpuff Girls) follows Blossom (Chloe Bennet), Bubbles (Dove Cameron) and Buttercup (Yana Perreault), who used to be America’s pint-sized superheroes. Now they’re disillusioned twentysomethings who resent having lost their childhood to crimefighting. Will they agree to reunite now that the world needs them more than ever?”

Donald’s Professor Drake is “a scientific genius who is immensely proud of the three extraordinary girls he created in his lab. Staring down a midlife crisis, he is determined to repair his relationships with his now-adult daughters.”

It’s a Scrubs reunion!

Stars Donald Faison and Zach Braff have announced a new iHeartRadio original podcast called Fake Doctors, Real Friends With Zach + Donald.

It will feature the actors as they look back on some of their favorite moments from the series. It will also include appearances by other cast and crew members, including creator Bill Lawrence.

Scrubs ran for nine seasons from 2001-2010.

“It’s almost like DVD commentary,” Zach told EW. “We’ll sit around and talk about funny stories and things we remember behind the scenes.”

“We started thinking of doing this for the people who did watch the show, fans of Zach Braff and I who are wondering what we’re doing and how we’re doing,” Donald Faison added. “This is a great place to check-in and hopefully enjoying conversations between two best friends.”

Due to the current health crisis, the duo has started doing the podcast from their homes via a video call.
