Carmen Sandiego is set to return in just over two weeks time with a brand new animated series from Netflix.
Gina Rodriguez (Jane The Virgin) will star in the series as the titular adventuring thief. The character debuted back in the 1980s as the focus of a video-game series in which the player is tasked with finding her. The game's also spawned a cartoon series by the name of: Where in The World Is Carmen Sandiego - which aired throughout the 90s.
Netflix have released a couple of stills from the series which feature a character by the name of Player whom Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things) will be voicing. Player serves as Carmen's right-hand-man, in her ear, providing information uncovered using his tech.
Wolfhard recently spoke with PEOPLE and explained the role as such: “Voicing Player was cool because he provides really interesting exposition about the places and missions that Carmen gets into, but he’s also the intimate voice in her ear. At first, I was worried that because of my schedule the project would suffer from me recording separately from the rest of the cast [but then] I realized that Player himself is isolated, [therefore] it made perfect sense.
Check out the stills below:
What do you think of the stills? Are you looking forward to the return of Carmen Sandiego?
Carmen Sandiego will debut on Netflix on January 19th, 2019.
