A whole new generation of kids will soon be lucky enough to grow up with The Powerpuff Girls: Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup are about to return to Cartoon Network.
On Thursday, the network announced its agenda for the 2015–2016 TV season, revealing plans for a 2016 reboot of the Emmy-winning series about three young superheroes. The show originally ran from 1998 to 2005.
The Powerpuff Girls: Slated for a 2016 launch, The Powerpuff Girls reboot will include an all-new television series produced by Cartoon Network Studios and a full licensing program slated to roll out across all regions. One of the network’s most enduring original series, The Powerpuff Girls, which debuted on Cartoon Network in 1998, earned two Emmy® Awards, five nominations and countless animation honors throughout its 78-episode run. The Powerpuff Girls centers on three sugar-coated superheroes -- Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup -- whose mission in life alternates between going to school, fighting crime, winning at hopscotch and saving the world before bedtime. Emmy® and BAFTA award winner Nick Jennings (Adventure Time) is on board as executive producer.
