Cartoon Network to Bring Back ‘Ben 10’

Cartoon Network is introducing “Ben 10” to a new generation of fans across the globe with an all-new television series that will hit screens in 2016.

The new animated series, based on the franchise about an alien-powered kid hero, is being produced by Cartoon Network Studios and will premiere on Cartoon Network international channels in the fall of 2016 and in North America in 2017.

Man of Action will executive produce for Cartoon Network Studios, and John Fang ("Mixels," "Generator Rex") is on board as supervising producer.

Cartoon Network’s new take on “Ben 10” will center upon a new animated series re-introducing the energetic, fun-loving, 10-year-old Ben Tennyson. Featuring many new and fan-favorite aliens, the series will kick off with the adventures of Ben, his cousin Gwen and Grandpa Max as they travel the country during summer vacation. When Ben finds the mysterious Omnitrix, a world of alien superpowers opens up to him.

“We decided it was time to introduce Ben to a new generation of kids,” says Rob Sorcher, chief content officer, Cartoon Network. “‘Ben 10’ has been an overwhelming success story across all media platforms, and we know kids around the world will be eager to see the reinvention of this beloved character.”
