Our favorite feminine superheroes are scheduled to be back in action in 2016, according to a press release from Cartoon Network, which referred to an all-new series and a full licensing program slated to roll out across all regions. If you don’t already feel old, just remember: the series premiered in 1998 and was taken off the air in March 2005—almost a full decade ago. In the ultimate throwback, it has been announced that Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup will return to the screen in all of their evil-fighting glory.

Pete Yoder, vice president of Cartoon Network Enterprises’ Consumer Products for North America, told Variety, “As the original ambassador of girl power, ‘The Powerpuff Girls’ brand continues to resonate with people of all ages and there is tremendous excitement around introducing Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup to a new generation.”

A new generation may indeed fall in love with the adorably sweet, yet undeniably strong Powerpuff girls, but we think its previous generation of watchers will enjoy reminiscing almost as much.

Just to recap, since it’s been a while, “The Powerpuff Girls” centers on three mysteriously super-powered girls—Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup—created by Professor Utonium, who becomes their father figure. The Professor had aimed to create one perfect little girl out of sugar, spice and everything nice, but his helper, a monkey named Jojo, accidentally botched his experiment by adding Chemical X to the formula. Instead, this resulted in three super-powered girls. Each girl represents one of the three perfect ingredients: Bubbles, the blue one, is “sugar” and the cutest and most sensitive of the bunch; Buttercup, the green one, is “spice” and the tough tomboy; Blossom, the pink one, is “everything nice” and generally the leader of the three. Using their host of superpowers including flight, super strength, super speed, near invulnerability, X-ray vision, heat vision and energy projection, the trio fights villains and monsters to protect their home of Townsville from evil. Of course, the superheroes must also deal with real-life problems as little girls, including sibling rivalries, loose teeth and going to school. Think “The Incredibles,” but cuter and with the kids riding solo.

Although the last episode, “Octi-Gone,” aired on March 25, 2005, the true season finale was the show’s 10-year anniversary special, “The Powerpuff Girls Rule!!!” which aired on Jan. 19, 2009. Although the Powerpuff Girls try to keep the “Key to the World” away from villains who might use it to wreak havoc on everyone, Mojo Jojo, the ultimate villain, obtains it. Surprisingly, he has a change of heart and decides to use the key to make the world a better place. Soon, however, he gets bored of the peace and Townsville reverts to the crime-filled disaster as it once was. We can only hope that the return of the Powerpuff Girls next year saves the town and its inhabitants from evil for good.

Cartoon Network hopes for the same success as the original series, which earned two Emmy awards, five nominations and several animation awards over the course of its 78-episode run. Emmy and British Academy of Film and Television Award winner Nick Jennings will be the executive producer. Although it is too early to tell how similar this next rendition of “The Powerpuff Girls” will be to the original, we know the show will have updated computer animation, giving the girls a new and improved look.
