‘Clueless’ Actor Breckin Meyer Says He’s Reprising Travis Role & Writing For TV Series Reboot

Breckin Meyer will reprise his Clueless role in the TV series reboot and join the writing team.

The actor recently revealed in a podcast that he would play Travis Birkenstock once again, a character he played in the 1995 Amy Heckerling-directed film.

“I’ve been in the writers’ room on this show they’re doing of Clueless, a new version of Clueless,” he said during an appearance on One Question.

Meyer said acting and writing would be the “ultimate version of me doing both things,” adding, “Writing on a character that I played 30 years ago, and trying to figure out what he would say now, and it’s really fun to put it in my head and try to think.”

The actor noted that the revival would consist of six episodes for Paramount+ with Alicia Silverstone returning as Cher Horowitz. Following the film’s success, ABC adapted it into a series, for which neither Silverstone nor Meyer reprised their roles, while Stacey Dash, Donald Faison, Elisa Donovan, and Wallace Shawn did. Meyer would later guest star in the series but as a character named Harrison.

“When [the new series] came about, I was like, ‘I’m curious, what are you guys thinking?’ When I read it, I was like, ‘Oh, that’s actually pretty damn interesting, so let’s delve into that,’” he said of participating in the revival.

The Clueless series is expected to start filming in 2027 and picks up 30 years after the original film, when beloved Beverly Hills icon Cher Horowitz (Silverstone) has figured out a lot: She’s successful in business and has mastered motherhood — that is, until her daughter’s high school years, and Cher finds that parenting a teenager makes her feel “clueless” all over again.

Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage and Jordan Weiss are writing the series, which is executive produced by Schwartz & Savage (The OC, Gossip Girl) via their Fake Empire banner, Weiss (Freakier Friday, Dollface), Silverstone and the original film’s writer-director Amy Heckerling and producer Robert Lawrence.
