The Powerpuff Girls are making a triumphant return to Cartoon Network more than two decades after their first flight across Townsville. According to ComicBook.com, fans of the iconic trio—Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup—can relive their crime-fighting adventures once again this April as the beloved animated series reclaims a spot on television.

It has been revealed that the show will officially be back on April 12, now part of Cartoon Network’s fresh morning lineup, and they won’t be alone as joining them is another fan-favorite, Steven Universe. The two animated powerhouses will air back-to-back, with Steven Universe kicking things off at 10 am, followed by The Powerpuff Girls at 10.30 am. However, whether the 2016 reboot will also make a reappearance remains a mystery as of now.

A Legacy Of Success

Since its premiere in November 1998, The Powerpuff Girls dominated the animation scene for six seasons and even hit the big screen in 2002 with a feature film that explored the origins of the trio. The film may have only pulled in around $16 million at the global box office, but the franchise’s influence was undeniable.

Critics and fans alike embraced the original series, which currently holds an impressive 83% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The White House Project even honored it with an EPIC Award in 2003 for its cultural impact.
