Cartoon Network's rebooted Powerpuff Girls will return for a second season shortly...

After the first rebooted season of The Powerpuff Girls earned Emmy nominations and massive ratings (a grand total of over 81 million views, Deadline reports), it's hardly surprising that Cartoon Network has ordered a second season of the colourful kids show. But we thought you'd like to know anyway.

"The Powerpuff Girls is on a momentous run with its first Emmy nod, a debut appearance at one of the biggest fan events of the year [San Diego Comic-Con], and now a second season greenlight,” said Cartoon Network's Rob Sorcher upon breaking the news.

Sorcher continued by saying this: “Congratulations to the Cartoon Network creative teams who have super-powered this property with the perfect amount of Chemical X to bring a hit show for a new generation of fans.”

Cartoon Network has released the first clip for the upcoming Powerpuff Girls and Teen Titans Go! crossover episode. In the clip we see The Powerpuff Girls trying to team up with the Teen Titans to take on Mojo Jojo, but it seems the Teen Titans have something else in mind.

Powerpuff Girls Executive Producer Nick Jennings previously talked about the crossover episode and offered some details saying:

"Jump City will never be the same when our little superheroes Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup meet up with the Teen Titans for the very first time. When these two worlds of superheroes collide, it will surely be something to remember.“Titans members Cyborg and Beast Boy find Mojo Jojo to be pretty cool for a talking monkey, the Girls compete with Raven, Starfire and Robin to see which superhero team is better, and there's a catchy song called Monkey Army that's bound to get stuck in fans' heads.

The Powerpuff Girls are officially set to crossover with Teen Titans Go! on Cartoon Network, and the first image from the eventhas been revealed. The Powerpuff Girls returned to Cartoon Network last month, and they are already going to take on the Teen Titans and then eventually team up with them. According to USA Today, the episode sees the two groups team up to take on the villainous monkey Mojo Jojo, who comes in to cause trouble in Titans’ town.

The Powerpuff Girls executive producer Nick Jennings talked about the episode saying:

"Jump City will never be the same when our little superheroes Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup meet up with the Teen Titans for the very first time. When these two worlds of superheroes collide, it will surely be something to remember.”

After what has felt like an eternity, the PowerPuff Girls are finally getting a revival.

The hit Cartoon Network show first graced our television screens back in 1998, where it would run for a glorious 7 years before being canceled back in 2005. Since then, the show’s old episodes were prominently featured on Boomerang; which happens to be the home to other much loved cartoons such as Johnny Bravo, Top Cat, Cow and Chicken and Tom and Jerry. Now, after 11 years and virtually every other superhero getting a reboot, we’re finally going to be getting something new from Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup.

Cartoon Network has ordered 40 new episodes of the re-booted series, with hopes that it will get the same reception from a new generation. Executive producers Nick Jennings and Bob Boyle told Turner in a recent Q&A just what possessed them to bring the show back. “The Powerpuff Girls...
