Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go
The animated TV series will be the fourth major revamp of the world-famous children's show, and will feature an entirely new storytelling approach, as well as an exciting collection of new characters.
Christopher Keenan, the senior vice-president of global content and executive producer at Mattel Television, said: "We can't wait for the next generation of fans to meet Thomas and his friends.
"In 'Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go', we aim for audiences to have fun as we expand the world of Sodor in new and exciting ways.
"For the better part of the last decade, I've had the privilege of working on the 'Thomas & Friends' television series and I've seen first-hand how Thomas and his core message about the value of friendship inspire a broad audience - children, parents and caregivers alike.
"These stories are both timeless and timely, with themes that continue to resonate with kids today."
The new series will feature more physical comedy and more music than earlier versions.
The upbeat and colourful approach to the show has been specifically designed to appeal to contemporary audiences' sensibilities.
Kelly Philp, the director of marketing at Mattel UK, said: "The singable songs and endless laughs have already tested well with our pre-school audience and 'Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go' will be a great tool for parents and caregivers too, due to the integrated life lessons and values that are incorporated within the content."
The launch of the series will be preceded by a new 60-minute animated motion picture, 'Thomas & Friends: Race for the Sodor Cup', which will premiere in UK cinemas on September 17.
