We’ve been waiting 12 years for this.
It was announced earlier this year that the Nickelodeon cartoon favourite was coming back, but until now, we knew very little about it.
Now more information has come out about it and we’re hoping it will live up to the original cartoon.
The much anticipated two-part TV movie will be called Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie.
Thankfully, the reboot will be mostly voiced by the original cast.
Lovestruck Helga will still be voiced by Francesca Smith.
The group’s bully, Harold, will still be voiced by Justin Shenkarow.
Dan Castellaneta and Tress MacNeille will continue to voice Arnold’s grandparents.
However, because it is picking up where it left off in 2004, the voices of Arnold and Gerald will be replaced by younger actors. Arnold will be voiced by Mason Vale Cotton and Gerald will be voiced by Benjamin Flores Jr.
The original voice actors won’t be excluded though, as Lane Toran and Jamil Walker Smith, will voice other characters in the movie instead.
Hopefully, the movies will tie up all the lose ends from its ending over a decade ago. We will finally learn what happened to Arnold’s parents and see whether he and Helga end up together.
The series began in 1996 and aired 100 episodes before ending in 2004.
