ITV has teased its reboot of 1960s show 'Thunderbirds', which follows the new adventures of the Tracy family and International Rescue.
Led by father Jeff, the five Tracy brothers (Scott, John, Virgil, Gordon, and Alan) operate the secretive group and carry out rescue missions in Thunderbird vehicles one through five, reported Digital Spy.
2015 is the 50th anniversary of the original show, which was created by Gerry Anderson.
Anderson originally used marionette puppets, also popularised in his other shows Stingray and Captain Scarlet.
The new ITV series 'Thunderbirds Are Go!' will also employ CGI and live action sets.
A second series of the show, which will air on CITV, has already been ordered by the broadcaster before the first has been aired.
Actors voicing the Tracy brothers and their friends include Rosamund Pike ('Gone Girl') as Lady Penelope, Thomas Brodie-Sangster ('The Maze Runner') as Tracy brothers Gordon and John, Rasmus Hardiker ('Your Highness') as Scott and Alan, and David Menkin ('Arthur Christmas') as Virgil.
Original series actor David Graham will voice Aloysius Parker.
