Amazon has faith its latest kids’ series will be a hit — a whole lot of faith. On Wednesday, the company announced that it had ordered not one but four 13-episode-long seasons of the cartoon Thunderbirds Are Go. The show, which features the voice of Rosamund Pike, is a reboot of the original Thunderbirds British science fiction series from the ‘60s, about the world’s most famous family of heroes: International Rescue. The series will be available on Amazon Prime later this year.
