Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup are back. The Powerpuff Girls will return to the small screen in 2016, with new episodes airing on the Cartoon Network.

"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," Rob Sorcher, chief content officer for Cartoon Network, told Variety. "We are calling these girls back into action based upon an overwhelming demand for sugar, spice, and Chemical X."
