The rebooted television series The Powerpuff Girls first premiered in 2016.
Cartoon Network announced a new version of the franchise in 2014, with the reboot arriving two years later. The 2016 series revisited Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup in a contemporary production while retaining the central premise of three superpowered sisters protecting Townsville. It was developed as a separate television series rather than as a continuation of the original show’s episode numbering.
The reboot premiered in the United States on April 4, 2016. Amanda Leighton, Kristen Li, and Natalie Palamides provided the voices of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, respectively. The original series had used Cathy Cavadini, Tara Strong, and E. G. Daily for those roles.
The 2016 show is sometimes confused with the 2002 theatrical film, which belongs to the earlier incarnation of the franchise. The year 2016 identifies the television reboot’s launch, not the original series or the film.
