90’s Kids Rejoice! A ‘Stretch Armstrong’ Series Is In The Works!

Briefly: I honestly never, ever expected to see Stretch Armstrong on screen again.

It’s a property that was huge when I was a small 90’s child, and I can recall being absolutely in love with the stretchy, cool toys, but that’s really all that I remember of the incredibly (briefly) popular character.

Now, thanks to Netflix and Hasbro, the character is returning with a brand new animated series, according to Deadline.

The series will follow ‘overscheduled teenager named Jake Armstrong and his two best friends. When the trio is accidentally exposed to an experimental chemical, they become Stretch Armstrong and the Flex Fighters, a team of unlikely stretchable superheroes who expand beyond the confines of their lives and embark on a series of adventures.’

The company also announced a new musical children’s series titled Lalaloopsy, and a tween-oriented sci-fi drama called The Greenhouse.

Netflix notes that nearly half of their 75-million subscribers regularly utilize children’s content, and that they’re ‘happy to expand our original slate with these three great series’.

Based on the fact that Stretch Armstrong was important to me as a child, and that I barely remember the character now, you bet I’ll be taking a look at the series when it launches.

Do you remember Stretch Armstrong? Excited for its rebirth? Sound out below!
