Totally Spies potential revival in the works?

[hdc]

Update from Stephane: He gave a vague reply saying that “Good spies never confess”, probably because he wouldn’t wanna risk breaking the NDA. Looks like we’ll have to wait for an official announcement then.

That feels like additional confirmation if anything. If it weren't true I'd think he could just say so, or else say nothing and let someone else be the Debbie Downer.

Then we have to wait and see if it's a season 7 or a reboot like the various reboots of Scooby-doo for example. It's been almost a decade since season 6 aired.

I'm kinda hoping they age them into their 20s and give them jobs. And add some character development and story arcs. In short, since the original fanbase has grown up, follow them some in terms of maturity level. Also, of course, turn up the fetish fuel and les yay.

Can't say I agree with this.  If anything, they should still be in college.  Doing them older would mess up the format and chemistry of the show too much imo.

Potential leak

Some rando on Twitter (probably involved in the production) posted this image. 

Apparently this season or reboot or whatever the hell it is will be called 'Totally Spies! WOOHP World'. Looks like they modified the logo and designs a bit, with the biggest being Clover's hairstyle. I think it's still in the early stages of production so it could be subject to change. 

The studio that's going to produce it is a newly founded studio called 'Ollenom' which is founded by Giorgio Welter, who is also the president of 'Monello Productions' which just happens to be a part of Zodiak Kids. Monello produced shows like 'Street Football' and Marblegen'. 

For all we know this could be complete hoax, or could actually be legit. What do you all think?

That first link says "it's a scandal what they did to Clover" and "tell me this is fan art, please." Going to have to agree. I think Alex comes out looking the best here.

I'm not on Twitter but if I were I'd post this (caution: volume)

Update: Well. Looks like the leak was legit. 

Here is an official recruitment notice that also leaked out.

I have to agree with Clover, her hairs in the original series was right on and perfect. If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

Keeping expectations at water temperature has its benefits.  lol  Can't be disappointed if I didn't expect this to not get messed up in the first place.  I guess we'll find out.  The business culture of mergers and acqusitions has done a great job of messing up a lot of franchises though.  Hopefully, someone has the sense to change that Clover re-design.

[stephdumas]

Now then we know it's season 7 and not a reboot, let's wish they could be Ariel from season 2 episode "W.O.W", she promised then she'll return and we're due to see a re-match.

Also, it could be interesting to see more about Britney's past like her family and speaking of family, we don't know if Alex and Sam have some cousins like Clover's cousin Normy.

A team-up of Geraldine with Terrence and/or Tim Scam. Why they put Helga and Myrna Bessbottom in LAMOS instead of Geraldine is a mystery.

Having Sam, Clover and Alex having one episode each doing a mission in solo.

I think that recruiting ad is a good sign for a couple of reasons. First, it's in French and not English. Second, unless it's months old, the fact they're looking for props designers hopefully means that redesign is still fixable.

Too bad they're not recruiting writers. We could certainly help there, even if the result would be globally banned. ; )

[stephdumas]

Another wishful thinking is Zodiac Kids Ollenom will co-produce TS-S7 with a Japanese animated studio like Toei, TMS or Sunrise but I think I have more chances to win the lottery than seeing this wishful thinking coming true. ^_^;

Edit: And besides, that would have been a bit closer to the idea of a  TSZ series similar in concept to PPGZ. ^^;

[jettmanas]

Nice find w/the prop design.
I've drawn so much TS, I wish I could work on it.
Ah well, I'll wish the best for the crew and hope to see it.

Funny thing is they left two of their shows hanging on their season finales: Redakai & Lolirock.
The latter has a following & I enjoyed a lot. Maybe they'll continue that someday.

This French website mention a reboot. https://www.virginradio.fr/totally-spies...82647.html That's add more to the mystery....

This appears to be a report about the Twitter leaks and how Twitter users hate Clover's redesign.

Yeah I'm not seeing where they're getting "reboot" from. They don't seem to have any other sources than what Bradley found. I'm glad people are yelling about Clover's hair though.

(warning: profanity)

Now then we know our favorite trio of Spies return, I wonder if Britney, Dean and Blaine will do some cameos appearances as well? And let's include Britney's teamates who should desserve a bigger cameo than a picture. ;-) https://totallyspies.fandom.com/wiki/Fil...played.jpg

Since the new season is called ‘WOOHP World, it will either focus on multinational divisions of WOOHP or it could go full virtual reality (judging from the ‘glitchy’ feel of the visual).

[stephdumas]

Or maybe booth. We know then WOOHP have an regional office in Paris, maybe in others cities as well: Sydney, Rio de Janeiro, London, Rome, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Buenos Aires, Cape Town, Casablanca, Istanbul, etc...

Going in virtual reality, I guess they might go the Reboot way of the tv series of the same name.

Update!

Totally Spies Season 7 is officially set to release in 2023, with French broadcaster 'Gulli' and (surprisingly) 'Discovery Kids LatAm' on board as co-funders. Stephane Berry is also returning to the director's chair after stepping down when Season 5 ended. Official statements in the pic below.
