A reboot matching the brilliance of its predecessor? Ugh, as if. But Alicia Silverstone is “confident” Peacock’s upcoming “Clueless” series will do its very best to “honor” the original.

Silverstone, 48, who starred as fashion-forward “virgin who can’t drive” Cher Horowitz in the 1995 film — which celebrated its 30th anniversary last month — is executive producing the streamer series, and told the “Today” show she’s “really excited” for the reboot.

“The goal is to make it honor what everyone loves about ‘Clueless’ and Cher,” she told Savannah Guthrie Thursday, “But also bring something fresh and new to it. … We’re in baby stages right now.”

“Clueless” also previously lived on the small screen with an ABC sitcom that aired from 1996 and 1999, as created by the uber-quotable film’s writer-director Amy Heckerling.

Time hasn’t lessened the impact of Heckerling’s modern cinematic take on Jane Austen’s “Emma” — with enduring fashion and pop cultural nods that include Iggy Azalea’s 2014 music video for “Fancy” and a 2023 Super Bowl commercial with Silverstone reliving some of Cher’s best moments.

Just last month, the L’Ermitage Beverly Hills unveiled a “Clueless” suite, replete with fuzzy pens, a Polaroid camera, a Cher-inspired (mostly) wardrobe and a nearly $2,000 price tag.

The new “Clueless” won’t be NBC-owned Peacock’s first time rebooting a ’90s favorite set in Southern California.

In 2022, the pretty nascent platform re-imagined Will Smith’s beloved “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” sitcom as a present-day drama, “Bel-Air,” executive produced by the Oscar winner. The show’s upcoming fourth season will be its last.
