Turner Broadcasting has picked up DHX Media‘s Inspector Gadget reboot for its Boomerang channels across EMEA, Latin America and Asia Pacific.

The new CGI series, which updates the 1980s classic toon, will run on Boomerang EMEA, a digital cable and satellite network operating across Europe, the Middle East and Africa in 56 countries, reaching more than 48 million homes. Boomerang Latin America, a pay-TV network launched in September 2014, will also carry the Canadian CGI series.

The new Inspector Gadget , comprising 26 half-hours, has Dr. Claw restarting his global crime syndicate MAD, bringing the multi-tasking detective Gadget out of retirement to save the world, along with his niece Penny and his dog Brain.

Inspector Gadget was previously acquired by Corus-owned Canadian kidsnet Teletoon, where it will air in 2015.
