Powerpuff Girls was an inseparable part of kids who grew up in the 90’s – along with some other classic originals by Cartoon Network.
Although, we have come to recognize the show for it’s three cute protagonists – Buttercup, Blossom and Bubbles, the network has brought a major change to lineage and added another member to the super-girl team in an attempt to diversify the show.
The Powerpuff Girls – will now feature an African American co-lead character, named – Toya – who’s going to assist her sisters fight evil forces in good-old Townsville.
Senior Vice President at Turner Broadcasting, Jamie Ondarza spoke on how Toya was the perfect choice as the newest addition to the iconic trio:
Toya is definitely a perfect fit as the fourth Powerpuff Girl. She is confident, bubbly and quirky, all the values that we are familiar with, love and appreciate. We have a lot of surprises up our sleeves.
The show is coming with a brand new season on September 17th, under the name, “Powerpuff Girls: The Power of Four.”
