The animated series is based on the PBS '90s game show, " Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? ," where each episode revolved around locating one of Sandiego's accomplices somewhere in the world.
The new show will follow Sandiego as "a modern day Robin Hood," though she's perceived as "a master criminal," according to the official description. It features "Jane the Virgin" heavy hitter Gina Rodriguez as the voice behind the lead mystery woman, as well as experienced voice actress Kari Wahlgren and "Stranger Things" star Finn Wolfhard.
Here's what the actors look like in real life, compared to their animated characters.
