Duck Tales, Sabrina the Little Witch, Private Investigator Magnum and other familiar projects that have recently taken on a new lease of life.

Game serials

1. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

• USA, 2018.
• Mysticism, horror, fantasy.
• Duration: 1 season.
• IMDb: 7, 8.

The young witch Sabrina Spellman lives with her aunts in the small town of Greendale. On the day of her majority, she must undergo a rite of passage and move from a regular school to the Academy of the Invisible Sciences. But Sabrina is not ready to say goodbye to her friends from the human world. And so he runs away.

In the new version, the atmosphere of a cute sitcom of the late nineties was filled with mysticism, and instead of individual episodes, the whole story of the formation of a young heroine was told.

2. Star Trek: Discovery

• USA, 2017.
• Science fiction.
• Duration: 2 seasons.
• IMDb: 7, 4.

In 2256, the crew of the Shenzhou spacecraft set out to explore new worlds. Soon space travelers are faced with the Klingon race, and an occasional conflict threatens to escalate into a global war.

The action of the new project takes place before the events of the very first series in the world of "Star Trek". And the atmosphere has become much darker. For example, the Klingons are shown here as a very brutal race.

3. Hawaii 5.0

• USA, 2010.
• Police drama.
• Duration: 9 seasons.
• IMDb: 7, 4.

Detective Steve McGarrett leads a new special squad in Hawaii. They investigate the most difficult cases and catch dangerous criminals, avoiding paperwork and reporting directly to the governor of the state.

The relaunch of the classic series turned out to be one of the most successful projects of producer Peter Lenkov. The authors retained the atmosphere of the original, but added stories with modern dynamics. Hawaii 5.0 has been on the air for 9 years now, and maintains consistently high ratings.

4. Private detective Magnum

• USA, 2018.
• Detective.
• Duration: 1 season.
• IMDb: 5, 2.

Officer Thomas Magnum returns from military service in Hawaii. He gets a job as a security consultant in a luxury mansion, and in his spare time he does private investigations. Friends and colleagues help him in a dangerous business.

The classic "Private Detective Magnum" was remembered by most viewers thanks to Tom Selleck's charisma and his bright shirts. In the new version, the surroundings have changed a lot, and Jay Hernandez is not at all like its predecessor. Although the general plot remained about the same: beautiful landscapes, expensive cars and investigations.

5. Roswell, New Mexico

• USA, 2019.
• Drama, fantasy.
• Duration: 1 season.
• IMDb: 5, 1.

The daughter of illegal immigrants, Liz Ortejo, returns to her hometown of Roswell. There she again meets a guy with whom she was in love at school. Liz soon learns that he is in fact an alien who remained on Earth after the ship crashed.

The original Roswell series was known in Russia as Alien City. In the remake, the plot was left approximately the same, only adding an immigrant overtones to it.

6. Charmed

• USA, 2018.
• Fantasy, drama.
• Duration: 1 season.
• IMDb: 4, 1.

After the death of their mother, the three sisters discover that they belong to an ancient line of witches. They must use supernatural powers to fight evil. And above all, the sisters rely on the Power of Three.

Preparations for the relaunch of the cult series were accompanied by scandals. Holly Marie Combs, one of the original actresses, opposed the release of the remake. But the project came out. True, judging by the ratings, it can hardly be called successful.

Animated series

7. Voltron: Legendary Defender

• USA, 2016.
• Adventure, fantasy, action.
• Duration: 8 seasons.
• IMDb: 8, 3.

A group of teenagers from Earth find a blue lion robot, which transports them to another part of the Galaxy. There they will become pilots of machines capable of combining into the greatest weapon in the Universe - the Voltron.

Interestingly, the original Voltron was an invention of American distributors. They purchased two separate Japanese animated series with a similar storyline, re-dubbed them, and reordered the episodes to accommodate Western culture. But the remake was already originally ordered for the United States, although the plot in many respects repeats the original.

8. Duck Tales

• USA, 2017.
• Adventure, Comedy, Family.
• Duration: 2 seasons.
• IMDb: 8, 2.

Donald Duck takes a new job and takes his nephews to Uncle Scrooge, a millionaire with a bad character. The latter is at first not happy with such a meeting. But soon the restlessness of adolescents makes Skruzhd recall past adventures and go on a journey.

In the restart of the famous animated series, the animation was strangely treated: the characters are drawn more roughly and look more like comic book characters, not the classic cartoon. But the plot has become much more dynamic, and the characters of the characters are brighter. So the new "Duck Tales" can appeal not only to children, but also to adults.

9. Shi-Ra and the Invincible Princesses

• USA, 2018.
• Adventure, fantasy.
• Duration: 1 season.
• IMDb: 7, 0.

The young orphan Adora fights for a horde led by the tyrant Hord. But soon she finds a magic sword that turns her into the great warrior Shi-Ru. And then she learns that she fought all her life on the wrong side, and that she was destined to lead the uprising against the horde.

The original mid-eighties series appeared as a spin-off of the He-Man and the Lords of the Universe project. But they decided not to include the male hero in the new version. And according to the plot, the project has become more coherent and meaningful. And, of course, it does not do without the theme of feminism.

10. Evolution of ninja turtles

• USA, 2018.
• Action, comedy, fantasy.
• Duration: 1 season.
• IMDb: 5, 5.

Four mutant turtles are learning to be a team and trying to master the mystical ninja powers that they did not know about before. Together with teacher Splinter and friend April, they fight enemies and save their city.

The animated series about turtles has been relaunched several times, each time adding something fundamentally new. In the current version, a very strange animation immediately catches the eye. In addition, the characters and appearance of the characters have changed.

The main characters are no longer brothers and belong to different breeds of turtles. Splinter does not take up their training right away, and April was made a black girl who wields a bat with might and main.
