Corus Entertainment has given the go-ahead to Rainmaker Ent.’s television division Mainframe Entertainment to produce 26 half-hour episodes of their reimagining of first-of-its-kind CG series classic ReBoot. Reboot: The Guardian Code is a live-action/CG animated hybrid series and will be distributed globally by TWC/Dimension Television (excluding Canada). The production kick off, on the heels of the show’s 20th anniversary, was announced at the Banff World Media Festival.

Created by Michael Hefferon, Reboot: The Guardian Code is based on the original ReBoot created by Gavin Blair, John Grace, Phil Mitchell and Ian Pearson. The reinvigorated adventure-comedy will follow four teens (Austin, Parker, Grey and Tamra) who discover they’re next-gen Guardians with a mission to save the world, by defending it in cyberspace. With the help of VERA, the last surviving cyberbeing from the original Guardian Program, the young heroes use awesome code-based powers to battle viruses unleashed by a ruthless hacker, known only as the Sourceror, bent on ruling the world by controlling cyberspace. And yes, fans, Megabyte will be back and badder than ever.
