Clueless Star Breckin Meyer Officially Confirms Return for Paramount+ Sequel Series
Travis returns to Clueless
Breckin Meyer confirmed he will reprise Travis Birkenstock in the six-episode Clueless sequel series for Paramount+. He will also write for the series. Meyer said he has already been in the writers’ room. He has enjoyed considering what Travis, whom he played in 1995, would say today.
A story that drew Meyer back
Meyer said reading the new story helped persuade him to return. He recalled thinking, “Oh, that’s actually pretty damn interesting, so let’s delve into that,” after encountering the material.
In the original film, Travis is known for being late to class. When Mr. Hall says he has been late 38 times, Travis responds with an acceptance speech thanking his parents, Los Angeles bus drivers and the McDonald’s crew who made his Egg McMuffins.
Cher faces a new challenge
The sequel places Cher on the other side of the parent-and-teen dynamic. In the original movie, she could persuade a teacher to reconsider a grade; influencing her own teenager may prove more difficult.
