Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe has begun development work to reboot the classic Cartoon Network series.

“The Powerpuff Girls” reboot revisits and expands upon the world of the original show, as Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup face off against a variety of villains comprised of familiar foes and new threats. “Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends” will return as an original preschool animated series, welcoming a new cast of imaginary friends.
“The Hanna-Barbera homecoming of Craig was an opportunity we could not pass up,” said Sam Register, president of Cartoon Network Studios, Warner Bros. Animation and Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe. “Along with his unparalleled sense of fun and imagination, he’s bringing two of his greatest works in ‘The Powerpuff Girls’ and ‘Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends,’ and we are so excited for these characters to be a part of the new legacy taking shape at the studio.”
I'm pretty sure the previous reboot of the Powerpuff Girls didn't involve McCracken, so this is a good sign for both shows. It would be nice if they also returned the original voice cast, as I recall there were some bad feelings over them not being offered a return last time. Other tweets seem to indicate that Lauren Faust is involved, who is married to McCracken and is probably best known for conceptualizing My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
