The series, titled Care Bears and Cousins, will debut in 2016 as part of the streaming service's initiative to expand its kid content.

The news became public during a CNN Money interview with Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos, who referred to the Care Bears as "trusted brand."

Other "trusted brands" include King Kong, The Magic School Bus 360˚ and Popples, all enduring children's' franchises that will take up Netflix's digital shelf space in 2015 and 2016.
