Thunderbirds is to be revamped for a new 2015 series.
Thunderbirds are Go! will update the classic '60s series using a combination of CGI animation and live-action model sets.
An order has been made for 26 half-hour episodes to air on ITV and the CITV channel, marking 50 years since the Gerry Anderson original debuted in 1965.
Anderson - who created the 'Supermarionation' series as a follow-up to his previous children's hit Stingray - passed away late last year.
The revamped Thunderbirds is being produced by ITV Studios and New Zealand-based Pukeko Pictures, in collaboration with the world-famous Weta Workshop (Avatar, The Lord of the Rings).
ITV Studios' Denise O'Donoghue said: "Thunderbirds is a highly respected brand that continues to hold recognition around the world. This cult series is often credited as changing the history of animation and action-adventure, and we look forward to taking the show to another level while retaining the much-loved heritage that has endured over the past 50 years."
Ben 10's Rob Hoegee is head writer on the series, which is currently in pre-production.
Another Anderson series, Captain Scarlet, was previously revamped with new CGI animation - Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet aired for 26 episodes in 2005.
