The Powerpuff Girls soar again with an all-new series in the works

Get ready to save the world before bedtime as Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup return to TV screens worldwide with an all-new series, slated to launch in 2016.

“The original Powerpuff Girls was a franchise phenomenon for Cartoon Network, paving the way for a new generation of innovative storytellers and enthusiastic fans worldwide,” said Rob Sorcher, Cartoon Network’s chief content officer, at the 2014 Licensing Expo in Las Vegas. “We are calling these girls back into action based upon an overwhelming demand for sugar, spice and Chemical X.”

One of Cartoon Network’s most enduring original series, The Powerpuff Girls has earned two Emmy® Awards along with five nominations and countless animation honors throughout its 78-episode run which ended in 2005. The series also inspired a feature film in 2003, a 10th anniversary special and a re-imagined CG special, The Powerpuff Girls: Dance Pantsed, which aired on Cartoon Network in January 2014 and featured Ringo Starr. The new series will be produced by Cartoon Network Studios.

The Powerpuff Girls, which debuted on Cartoon Network in 1998, was created by Craig McCracken and centers on three sugar-coated superheroes whose mission in life alternates between going to school, fighting crime and winning at hopscotch.

Uncle Grandpa, the uncle and grandfather you didn’t think you wanted but totally can’t do without, stops by random houses every day for what seems like just a friendly visit.

He travels and lives in a magical recreational vehicle (RV) and is accompanied by a talking belly bag named, well, Belly Bag; Mr. Gus the dinosaur; the often grumpy but sometimes sweet Giant Realistic Flying Tiger; and Pizza Steve, the talking pizza slice. It sounds crazy, and it totally is – the extra cray cray with a slice of cheese!
