Netflix Upcoming Series: The Popular Streaming Service Brings Back 'Inspector Gadget,' And 'Danger Mouse' To The Small Screen! When Will The New Shows Be Available On Netflix?

Good news for kids and former children of the 80s and 90s as Netflix is bringing back "Inspector Gadget," "Danger Mouse" and more 80s cartoon to the small screen.

The series revolves around the adventure of an inept, feebleminded cyborg detective named Inspector Gadget. The news is sure to excite former children of the 80s and 90s as their beloved animated cyborg detective returns to the small screen with spanking new adventures.

According TheWrap, "Inspector Gadget," alongside four other new children's show, will be available on the streaming service in March. According to Entertainment Weekly, the "Inspector Gadget" reboot is produced by DHX Media and is slated to air exclusively in the United States.

Netflix has ordered five new kids shows, including new versions of "Gadget" and "Danger Mouse," USAToday reported on Wednesday, Feb. 25. Netflix will debut the series at a later date in the U.K., France and Latin America. The original "Inspector Gadget," which was turned into a movie starring Matthew Broderick in 1999, first aired as an animated television series in 1983.

USAToday noted that the 26-episode remake features latest state-of-the-art gadgets as well as a new computer-generated look for the inspector.

VP of global independent content at Netflix, Erik Barmack, said of the show, "It's one of those shows where we're able to hit a few different audiences." According to Barmack, kids are surely going to love the show, but that's not all, the show will also get some co-viewing from a generation of parents who grew up on the original.

In addition, Netflix is also ordering revived version of another beloved franchise from the early 80's, "Danger Mouse." In 1981, the British show about a secret agent mouse first ran in the U.K. and aired on Nickelodeon in the United States from 1982 - 1992. According to USAToday, Netflix will debut 26 half-hour episodes of Danger Mouse in the spring next year. Danger Mouse is produced by Fremantle and the BBC.

This is not Netflix's first shot at rebooting popular cartoons from the past. Netflix has announced upcoming remakes of "Magic School Bus," "Care Bears" and "Popples." The streaming site has a multiyear deal with DreamWorks Animation for 300 hours of original programming, remade by characters from current DreamWorks franchise, spawning shows such the most recent, "Richie Rich," "Turbo Fast" and "All Hail King Julien."

Apparently, Netflix is not the only streaming site to invest in children's programming. On Tuesday, Feb. 24, Amazon announced that it has renewed four original kids' series such as "Annedroids," "Tumble Leaf," "Gortimer Gibbon's Life on Normal Street" and "Creative Galaxy" for a second season on its Prime Instant video service.
