The Teletubbies are back with a brand new look.
Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po will be entertaining a whole new generation of young children when they return to our screens next month, thanks to the cult 90s show being rebooted for a 26-episode season on Netflix - complete with a new set and famous narrator.
Tituss Burgess of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt fame will be joining the four iconic main characters and the baby-faced sun in their futuristic Teletubbyland home as the show's new narrator, with the Teletubbies favourite snacks tubby toast and tubby custard also making a comeback.
The new Netflix series is set to premiere on November 14 and will consist of 26 12-minute episode for fans to devour, following the hit series being away from our screens for four years.

The Teletubbies was created by Anne Wood and Andrew Davenport and first ran between 1997 and 2001, gaining a cult status during its time on the BBC, before returning for revival on Nickelodeon between 2015 and 2018.
Thanks to creating a global smash-hit show, Anne was reportedly worth a cool $150m in 2000 - with the rebooted Netflix version of her creation seemingly set to boost her bank balance once again.
In the first-look trailer for the latest offering from Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po, the Teletubbies look mostly unchanged from the design of the original series but some new sun babies and the show's famous American narrator made an appearance.

"Over the hills and far away, Teletubbies come to play!" Tituss says pleasantly as the trailer for the Netflix series begins.
The rebooted series will see Jeremiah Krage, Nick Kellington, Rebecca Hyland, and Rachelle Beinart reprise their roles of Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po, after playing the iconic characters during the Teletubbies previous run on Nick Jr - with the four stars uttering their much-loved excited, child-like gibberish in the new trailer.
"Teletubbies love Tubby custard," narrator Tituss continues, as the Teletubbies can be seen whipping up a dish of their beloved pink food substance.

It's then time for their trusty anthropomorphic vacuum to make a cameo on screen and clean up the mess the cheeky Teletubbies have created.
Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po even bust a few moves in the new trailer, with Tituss quipping: "Teletubbies love dancing!"
The Teletubbies even have some new pals in the form of the Tiddlytubbies - computer-generated younger version of the fictional Teletubbies - but their iconic accessories remain the same, with Tinky Winky carrying their iconic red handbag and Dipsy rocking a cow-print top hat at one point.

Tinky Winky previously caused a scandal during the show's original run on the BBC, thanks to a bizarre controversy that involved televangelist the Reverend Jerry Falwell accusing one the purple fictional character of being a 'covert homosexual symbol.'
Falwell made the claim because of the purple triangle symbol that sits atop Tinky Winky's head, as well as the character's love of often carrying their beloved red handbag.
As the trailer for the new Netflix series concludes, the Teletubbies' opening theme can be heard as the four main characters all pose individually - with Tinky Winky and Dipsy rocking their trademark accessories and Laa–Laa and Po dancing during their time in the spotlight alone.

The trailer has created a storm on social media - with adult fans rushing to offer their thoughts on the new and improved Teletubbies.
"If you are logged into my Netflix and you see 'continue watching teletubbies' ... please mind your business," one future viewer joked on Twitter as the trailer dropped.
"Toddler twitter: teletubbies reboot dropping!?!? we will be watching," another excited fan declared, with a third adding: "there’s going to be a teletubbies netflix show????!!! IM GOING ABSOLUTELY FERAL RN."

Some were more concerned about the addition of the Tiddlytubbies, with one fan joking: "Teletubbies can reproduce? Is that new lore? We must consult the texts."
"'What is the implication of babytubbies? If the reproduction cycle of these mutants isn't elaborated on within the first ten minutes I swear to G(1/???)," another added as social media debated whether the new Netflix series will be worth a watch, with one disappointed fan tweeting: "Teletubbies have told every story they need to tell. I don't know how they think they've got enough material for a reboot."
