Almost 10 years after the original "The Powerpuff Girls" series ended, Cartoon Network's trio of cartoon superheroes made by sugar, spice and everything nice are returning for new adventures as recently confirmed by the television network.

According to Cartoon Network's Chief Content Officer Rob Sorcher, "The original Powerpuff Girls was a franchise phenomenon" for the television network that specialized on producing cartoon shows for children. He also added that the demand for the return of the girls was overwhelming. The brand new series is slated to be launched in 2016 with a full licensing program that will roll out across all regions.

"The Powerpuff Girls" earned two Emmy awards in its 78-year run. It also produced a 10th anniversary special in 2009, a re-imaged CGI TV movie special, as well as found its way to a big-screen production in a 2003 feature film.

"The Powerpuff Girls" first appeared on television in 1998 and had a run that lasted until 2005. Craig McCracken created the show, which ranks among Cartoon Network brands as the top-grossing franchise of all time. It has generated more than $2.5 billion in retail sales since its debut not to mention the influence it has had on people of all ages. According to Pete Yoder, vice president of consumer products for North America of Cartoon Network Enterprises, there is a tremendous amount of excitement with the reintroduction of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup to a new generation.

"The Powerpuff Girls" is an American animated television series about three girls who were given superpowers after the scientist Professor Utonium accidentally mixed Chemical X with sugar, spice and everything nice in his attempt to make the perfect little girls. Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup were famous for saving the world before bedtime from different villains and criminals wreaking havoc and chaos in the city of Townsville. There are still no details if anything will be different in the upcoming reboot.
