Thunderbirds Are Go is a computer-animated science fiction television programme produced by ITV Studios and Pukeko Pictures.
It is a reboot of the series Thunderbirds created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson which follows the exploits of International Rescue (IR), a rescue organisation run by the Tracy family out of their secret island base in the Pacific Ocean.
They use technologically-advanced craft for land, sea, air and space rescues in their operations, the most important of which are a set of vehicles called the Thunderbirds, piloted by the five Tracy brothers.
The programme premiered on 4 April 2015 and concluded on 22 February 2020, running for 78 episodes across three series. It received positive feedback from critics and fans of the original series, and has spawned several branches of merchandising since its broadcast.
