A lot of great things are coming out of WonderCon, including a new official trailer for the Amazon reboot "Thunderbirds Are Go."
A reimagining of "Thunderbirds," a 50-year-old classic, "Thunderbirds Are Go" is set in 2060. A mix of live-action model sets and CGI, the show will follow the Tracy brothers (Alan, Gordon, Virgil, John and Scott) as they go on rescue missions around the world as the organization International Rescue (IR). They're also hot on the tail of The Hood, the man responsible for a crash supposedly involving their father, Jeff Tracy, an ex-astronaut.
To carry out their life-saving missions, the Tracy brothers use five machines called Thunderbirds: "Thunderbird 1," a rocket plane piloted by First Responder Scott Tracy; "Thunderbird 2," an auxiliary equipment transporter handled by the logistics, heavy lifting and demolition expert Virgil Tracy; "Thunderbird 3," used by Astronaut Alan Tracy for space rescues; "Thunderbird 4" for underwater search and rescue missions carried out by Aquanaut Gordon Tracy; and "Thunderbird 5," a communications and logistics satellite hub managed by Space Command Communicator and Dispatcher John Tracy.
Rasmus Hardiker was cast as Alan and Scott Tracy while Thomas Brodie-Sangster gave life to John Tracy and David Menkin voiced Virgil and Gordon Tracy. They will be joined by Sandra Dickinson (Grandma Tracy), Kayvan Novak (Brains), David Graham (IR agent Parker), Andres Williams (The Hood) and Rosamund Pike (Lady Penelope).
Earlier in February, it was announced that Amazon had ordered four seasons of the show, each made up of 13 episodes. The first two seasons of "Thunderbirds Are Go" have already aired in the UK through ITV.
In the U.S., season one will premiere on April 22 via Amazon Prime Video, following "Ring of Fire" Parts 1 and 2, a one-hour special of season one's first two episodes airing April 15. Prime Video in the UK will be streaming "Thunderbirds Are Go" after its U.S. release under a second-window rights deal.
