"Is it true that there was a planned Clarissa spin-off?

Yes, a spin-off was in the works called Clarissa NOW, where she was a newspaper editor and living her life in New York City. The pilot was aired but no other episodes of the new series were ever produced. "

We took a look at "Clarissa" or "Clarissa Now," a pilot for a Clarissa Explains It All spinoff series for CBS. Clarissa Darling has graduated high school, and is now starting an internship for a New York City tabloid! How well does the beloved Nickelodeon sitcom character carry over to a more adult comedy?

Clarissa Explains It All introduced Melissa Joan Hart to the world and became a groundbreaking, cult favorite Nickelodeon show. But did you know there was almost a spin-off on CBS called Clarissa Now that featured a grown up Clarissa working for a New York City newspaper? Clarissa creator Mitchell Kriegman joins this special episode of Behind the Backdoor Pilot to talk about the creation of his seminal kids show, why the Clarissa Now spin-off didn't make it to air and much more.
