Netflix announced that Carmen Sandiego will premiere on the streaming service on January 18, 2019. The 20-episode season will be split between Carmen’s present-day heists and her mysterious past that led to her becoming the world’s most renowned thief.
Netflix announced the date in a tweet with some key art from the series featuring the elusive thief herself, voiced by Jane the Virgin and Annihilation star Gina Rodriguez. Stranger Things’ Finn Wolfhard also stars as Player, Carmen’s chief accomplice and friend.

But that’s not all we’re getting from Carmen Sandiego. Entertainment Weekly debuted the first teaser images from the Netflix animated series, previewing the show’s flat but graphically appealing animation style. The strong lines and vibrant colors suggest that this show will be on the kid-friendly side, despite centering around, you know, a criminal. But hey, the original animated series and game show were educational tools to teach kids about geography. Carmen looks suitably cool in these images, rocking her signature red trenchcoat and hat — and showing her eyes for the first time!
Carmen Sandiego debuts on January 18, 2019 on Netflix.
