ITV has released a new picture of the infamous Tracy brothers for the forthcoming series Thunderbirds Are Go and they now look completely different from the odd shapes from the strings-attached models from the 1960s original show.

The picture shows the brothers, Scott, Virgil, Alan, Gordon and John, who are now chiseled and ripped, in front of their home; the exotic Tracy Island. 

They are due to return to the small screen this year after a teaser surfaced online for the remake of the 1960s family favourite.

The reboot has been produced using a unique mix of CGI animation and live-action model sets. It stars Rosamund Pike as Lady Penelope and original cast member David Graham who reprises his role as Parker.

Other star voices will include Kayvan Novak as inventor Brains and Thomas Brodie-Sangter who will voice John Tracy.

The major new children’s series is co-produced by ITV studios and Pukeko Pictures in association with Weta Workshop – the visual effects company behind Avatar and The Lord of the Rings. It will debut internationally in spring in the UK exclusively on ITV and CITV.
