Thunderbirds are set to go again, with ITV Studios planning to update the hugely popular 1960s children’s show.
According to Deadline, ITV is teaming up with New Zealand-based Weta Digital and Pukeko Pictures to produce 26 half-hour episodes of Thunderbirds Are Go!
As with the original series (and 2004 film that it inspired), the show will revolve around the efforts of International Rescue – which is made up of ex-astronaut Jeff Tracy and his five sons – to save those in danger.
According to the site, “The new series will be produced using a unique mix of CGI animation and live-action model sets while also paying tribute to the legacy of model locations from Anderson’s original.”
