Even if you grew up when the show first aired, you may not remember Biker Mice From Mars, but the bonkers animated series has retained a cult following over the years, and we found out back in January that a reboot was in the works.
Now, Nacelle has announced that Ryan Reynolds' production company, Maximum Effort, and Fubo have partnered up to produce the series. Executive producing the Deadpool 3 star is director Brian Volk-Weiss, as well as Cisco Henson, Matt Kravitsky, Michael Goodman, George Dewey, Kevin Hill, Patrick Gooing, David Gandler, and Pamela Duckworth.
“Some people know that I am a motorcycle enthusiast, so it was only natural for us to jump on board Biker Mice from Mars,” Reynolds said of joining the project in a statement. “Maximum Effort and Fubo look forward to putting a new spin on this cult classic with our friends at Nacelle.” Director Brian Volk-Weiss added, “The same way you can’t have a hot dog without a bun, what would a biker mouse be without a bike? I believe we have definitely answered that question!”
For the uninitiated, you'll find a synopsis below along with the show's intro.
"On the planet Mars, there existed a race of anthropomorphic mice who enjoyed motorsports and had a very similar culture and society to that of human beings. Eventually, they were all but wiped out by the Plutarkians, an alien race of obese, foul-smelling, worm-eating, fish-like humanoids who plunder other planets for their natural resources. Three survivors: Throttle, Modo and Vinnie, manage to find a spaceship and escape the Plutarkian takeover, but instead, they soon find themselves crash-landing on Earth in the city of Chicago. Along with a charming female mechanic named Charlene 'Charley' Davidson, the Biker Mice must defend Earth and defeat the villainous Plutarkians, in an attempt to finally return to their homeland of Mars."
