Ryan Reynolds will put his recent producing prowess to the test by rebooting a rather surprising show.

The renowned actor, behind Deadpool and Detective Pikachu, will be collaborating with Nacelle to bring back the wacky '90s cartoon, Biker Mice from Mars.

The animated series revolved around three anthropomorphic mice, Throttle, Vinnie, and Modo, who fled from a war on Mars and ended up defending Earth from the evil forces that had devastated their home planet.

With three seasons under its belt, the show boasted an impressive voice cast, including Mark Hamill, Rob Paulsen, Dorian Harewood, Michael Dorn, and others.

Even Beverly Hills, 90210 stars like Tori Spelling, Jason Priestley, Luke Perry, and Brian Austin Green made appearances.

Biker Mice from Mars experienced a revival in 2006, and now, with Reynolds co-producing alongside Nacelle, it's coming back for more.

In a statement, Reynolds expressed his enthusiasm for the project: "Some people know that I am a motorcycle enthusiast, so it was only natural for us to jump on board Biker Mice from Mars. Maximum Effort and Fubo look forward to putting a new spin on this cult classic with our friends at Nacelle."

Maximum Effort is Reynolds' production company, while Fubo is primarily a sports-focused streaming service that recently launched a channel dedicated to Maximum Effort.

Biker Mice From Mars will be the first animated series on the Maximum Effort Channel, which is home to original and classic TV and movies. The show’s premiere date is yet to be announced.

Interestingly, Reynolds recently made headlines when he revealed that his streaming channel would feature six hours of Welsh language content every week, thanks to a partnership with the long-running Welsh channel S4C.

This decision was motivated by his purchase of Wrexham AFC, the third-oldest professional football club globally, and his commitment to promoting the Welsh language.

Fans can also look forward to the return of the Welcome to Wrexham documentary series, which follows Reynolds and Rob McElhenney as they work to transform the fortunes of the football club.

The release date for the second season has just been announced, promising more captivating moments in the journey of the beloved club.
