An all-new action-comedy cartoon, ThunderCats Roar, will be premiering on Astro channel 615 / 635 (Cartoon Network) on Saturday, May 23 at 1.00 PM.

New episodes will be airing on Saturday and Sunday at the same time.

Paying homage to the original ThunderCats series, the characters — Lion-O, Tygra, Panthro, Cheetara, WilyKit and WilyKat — manage to escape the destruction of their homeworld, Thundera.

They end up crash landing on a planet called Third Earth after their escape.

As the newly appointed Lord of the ThunderCats, Lion-O attempts to lead the team as they make this planet their new home.

However, many creatures and villains stand in their way. This includes the evil Mumm-Ra, Third Earth’s wicked ruler who will stop at nothing to ensure his reign over the planet.

With over-the-top action and razor-sharp comedy, ThunderCats Roar boasts fresh and vibrant character designs.

Coupled with effective storytelling, this new series promises to reignite the passion of its fanbase and introduce the legacy of the ThunderCats to a whole new generation.

Victor Courtright (Pickle and Peanut) and Marly Halpern-Graser (Right Now Kapow) serve as producers. Sam Register (Teen Titans Go!) serves as executive producer.

Don’t miss ThunderCats Roar when it launches on Saturday, May 23 at 1.00 PM, on Astro channel 615 HD / 635 (Cartoon Network).
