You’re not totally buggin — a series based on the ’90s classic film “Clueless” is in the works, and Alicia Silverstone is sharing her role in it.

Thirty years ago, people remember “rollin’ with the homies” in Beverly Hills thanks to the iconic Cher Horowitz and her well-to-do entourage. Now, during a Thursday appearance on “Today,” Silverstone spoke about the voyage back to the West Coast.

“I’m really excited about it,” she said. “We’re going to try really hard… the goal is to make it honor what everyone loves about ‘Clueless,’ [and] Cher. We want to honor that.”

Silverstone shared that the project is currently in “baby stages” but promises the production will bring something “fresh and new” to the characters many have held close to their hearts since 1995. She also revealed that she is the project’s executive producer.

In a separate interview on “TODAY with Jenna & Friends,” she reflected on the film’s long-lasting legacy and its unexpected journey into a “cultural phenomenon.”

She credited the movie’s enduring appeal to director Amy Heckerling and her knack for “capturing exactly what was happening at that moment.”

The actor also attributed the movie’s success to the costumes that turned hallways into runways.

“I was just excited to be there doing this great part that I got,” she said, when asked if she ever predicted the film’s massive impact.

Five years ago, Silverstone sat down with Vogue to discuss the movie’s impact and how audiences aligned with her character.

“I think people identify with Cher’s heart and her willingness to change and grow because of how silly she was,” she said. “She was trying hard to evolve because of her sweet Josh. I don’t know how to explain why or what made ′Clueless’ what it was, but I know it happened, and I know that people continue to love it. And it never gets old, so that’s the good news.”
