As if! The beloved 1995 romantic comedy, Clueless starring Alicia Silverstone as the iconic Cher and her love interest, a young Paul Rudd, has the best odds of being remade at 1/4. Mean Girls, a film with ever-lasting cultural relevance forever making Wednesdays the day to wear pink and giving October 3 the title of ‘Mean Girls Day,’ was taken to the stage for the first time in 2017. Now, the much anticipated movie-musical is set to hit theatres next year, and Clueless’ similar air of girl power and lasting cultural relevancy makes it a near sure thing for a similar reboot. It’s certainly clear to see why it has fallen first on our list of odds.

In recent years, the trend of transforming beloved animated classics into live-action spectacles has surged, with Disney remaking iconic films like The Little Mermaid, Mulan, and The Lion King, undergoing live-action adaptations, featuring ensemble casts of stars. The success of these reimaginings has undoubtedly set a precedent, raising speculation about which other treasured Disney classics might receive the live-action treatment in the years to come. Ratatouille and Anastasia feature on our list, as well as another cartoon-original and cult-favorite – Coraline.

their stories will continue to captivate and haunt audiences for years to come

Films like Psycho, It’s a Wonderful Life, and Bugsy Malone hold a special place in the hearts of audiences, their appeal reaching across generations. While Psycho underwent a daring remake in 1998, starring Vince Vaughn, and the enthralling spin-off series Bates Motel concluded its run in 2017, the story of Norman Bates remains culturally relevant. The allure of these classics stands as a testament – promising that their stories will continue to captivate and haunt audiences for years to come.

The latest season achieved an astonishing feat with over a billion hours streamed globally. As fans eagerly anticipate another season slated for release in 2025, the possibility of a spin-off is at 1/2 according to our experts.

fervent fan calls for a Riverdale revival have already emerged

Netflix might see a surge in spinoff series, according to our top five picks. Both The Crown (6/5) and Riverdale (7/5) stand as potential contenders for a fresh narrative. Despite generating mixed reviews among royal enthusiasts, the latest season of The Crown has recently debuted on the streaming platform, and this reception might not deter the possibility of a spinoff. Riverdale, a beloved cult hit known for its eerie storylines and comic-book-like sets, concluded its run earlier this year. Yet fervent fan calls for a Riverdale revival have already emerged.

Nostalgia runs rampant

Some of the predictions for reboots, spinoffs, and revivals may be due to our innate nostalgia, with classics like It’s A Wonderful Life and Bugsy Malone on the list. However, it’s also about predicting pop culture trends, according to our own Kayleigh Sacco, editor-in-chief at VegasSlotsOnline.com, as she said:

“Our odds experts always have their finger on the pulse of pop culture. With the era of revivals in full swing, with the likes of Wonka, and even a new Mean Girls the Musical movie, set to hit our scenes, we put our brains together to determine what films are going to be revived next. After a meticulous analysis of Hollywood trends, we’re excited to forecast the beloved ‘90s gem, Clueless, as the next big screen reboot. 

While silver screen predictions continue to captivate, our odds reveal an equal thirst for nostalgic TV comebacks. We have loved diving into the movie and film classics to reveal this list and hope it proves interesting to all film fanatics out there whether they’re on board with the reboot revivals or not!”
