Sam, Clover, and Alex are heading back to Cartoon Network in 2024 with a new seventh season of their early-2000s hit show Totally Spies!.

The new series stays true to all the key elements that make the show so popular, but has been lovingly updated for a new audience, reflecting the modern challenges faced by both high schoolers and spies alike!”
- Aurelie Wack, acquisitions and co-productions manager, Warner Bros.

With strong female leads and a diverse offering of modern themes, the France-produced hit Totally Spies! broadens our appeal and demonstrates our commitment to European content.”
Cartoon Brew’s View We’ve seen WBD lean heavily on popular catalog franchises recently, so the news of Totally Spies! getting picked up is hardly surprising. That’s especially true after Max bosses promised to launch 40 new titles and seasons every month after the HBO Max-Discovery+ hybrid launches next month.
