Paul Rudd is gearing up for his return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Avengers: Doomsday, but before he suits up as Scott Lang, fans can catch one of his earliest and most beloved performances. The iconic 1995 teen comedy Clueless has officially found a new streaming home on Starz, after being dropped from Netflix's catalog at the end of last month.
For those who missed it, Clueless is a loose adaptation of Jane Austen's 1815 novel Emma, but with a totally '90s twist. Alicia Silverstone stars as Cher Horowitz, a wealthy, popular, and utterly clueless high schooler who decides to play matchmaker for her teachers and friends. Along the way, she falls for Josh, played by a young Paul Rudd, who is also her ex-stepbrother—a plot point that raised eyebrows then and now, but remains a staple of the film's charm.
The movie was a massive hit upon release, grossing over $56 million worldwide against a modest $12 million budget. It also launched the careers of several actors, including Silverstone, Rudd, and Brittany Murphy, and became a cultural touchstone for its fashion, slang, and quotable lines. Three decades later, it's still as popular as ever, with fans regularly rewatching Cher's adventures in Beverly Hills.
Now, with its departure from Netflix, many subscribers were left wondering where they could stream the film. Fortunately, Starz has stepped in to fill the void, and as of October 2026, Clueless is available to stream on the premium network. This is great news for both longtime fans and newcomers who want to see Rudd's pre-MCU charm.
Rudd's involvement in Avengers: Doomsday has been a major talking point, especially given the film's massive cast that includes Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, Tom Hiddleston, Florence Pugh, Vanessa Kirby, Pedro Pascal, and many more. The movie is expected to be one of the biggest releases of the year, with early projections suggesting a $260–$300 million opening weekend. It's also set to face off against Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Three, which could either boost overall box office numbers or split audiences.
While we wait for Doomsday to hit theaters, catching Clueless on Starz is a perfect way to revisit Rudd's early career. And if you're in the mood for more nostalgia, you might also want to check out Keri Russell's Felicity arriving on Netflix next month, or explore October's anime offerings for something completely different.
So, grab some popcorn, put on your best plaid skirt, and head over to Starz to enjoy Clueless all over again. It's a totally buggin' way to spend an afternoon.
