Parents beware: Your home is about to be inundated with the ringing sounds of "I love you, you love me, we're a happy family…"
Barney the Dinosaur is back!
The franchise is getting relaunched with an all-new movie, animated series, and MORE according to Variety.
Mattel's is planning for the franchise to not only include television and film, but YouTube content as well as music and a full range of kids' products including toys, books, clothing, and more.
And for all the '90s babies: Apparel and accessories for adult fans, featuring the original Barney, are also in development!
Josh Silverman, Chief Franchise Officer and Global Head of Consumer Products at Mattel, said in a statement, "Barney's message of love and kindness has stood the test of time.
"We will tap into the nostalgia of the generations who grew up with Barney, now parents themselves, and introduce the iconic purple dinosaur to a new generation of kids and families around the world across content, products, and experiences."
The new animated series, which has yet to be titled, is set to debut in 2024.
