The project is a collaboration that aims to honor the franchise's legacy.

The series will have a total of eight episodes, each with a duration of approximately 30 minutes. The show will be exclusively available on Netflix, with all episodes premiering on the same date. This approach allows fans to watch the series all at once if they wish.
