Cartoon Network Officially Rebooting Classic Show, Will Also Stream on Max

Cartoon Network has officially ordered a new season of Totally Spies! The acclaimed spy-fi comedy originally aired from 2001 to 2008 in the U.S., and reports of a revival or a reboot have been growing for a while now. On Tuesday, Warner Bros. Discovery announced that Totally Spies Season 7 will air on Cartoon Network and on Max, which will be the new brand name for HBO Max. 

Totally Spies Season 6 will premiere sometime in 2024, picking up on the story that started in its first six seasons. According to a press release by Bainjay Kids & Family, it will find its main trio Sam, Clover and Alex moving to a new city where they will face a whole new retinue of villains. The show will premiere on Cartoon Network first but will then be added to Max, which is where it will be most readily available to international audiences. The new season will have 26 episodes, each 22 minutes in length.

“With strong female leads and an aesthetic that has inspired a generation, Totally Spies is an iconic show with a hugely passionate global fanbase, eager to join the agents on their latest adventures,” said Banijay CEO Benoît Di Sabatino. “The new series stays true to all the key elements that make the show so popular, but has been lovingly updated for a new audience, reflecting the modern challenges faced by both high-schoolers and spies alike!”

WBD executive Aurelie Wack added: “We are thrilled to be bringing the much-awaited iconic spy trio Sam, Clover, and Alex to Max and Cartoon Network in EMEA. We cannot wait to welcome Totally Spies’ passionate fanbase to our platforms and introduce the girls to a brand new audience. With strong female leads and a diverse offering of modern themes, the France-produced hit Totally Spies broadens our appeal and demonstrates our commitment to European content.”

Totally Spies was created by Vincent Chalvon-Demersay and David Michel, and it followed three teenage girls who secretly worked as undercover agents for the “World Organization of Human Protection,” or “WOOHP.” The fandom for the show never died down and this is not the first time it has been revived. After the end of Season 5 a prequel film came out, and a few years later a sixth season aired in some parts of the world as well. In the U.S., the easiest place to find it is on Amazon Prime Video at the time of this writing.

Totally Spies is beloved for its riffs on the spy-fi genre – complete with frequent nods to beloved franchises like James Bond and Charlie’s Angels. At the same time, it appealed to an audience eager to see girls in heroic roles as action leads, and for that, it is still remembered fondly. Many fans are already gearing up for the revival over on social media. In the meantime, Totally Spies is streaming on Prime Video in the U.S.
