Captain Planet and the Planeteers Live-Action Series in the Works at Netflix — and Leonardo DiCaprio is Involved


Hands up if you remember Captain Planet and the Planeteers? The early 90s American animated environmentalist superhero television series is fondly remembered by a generation of kids who absorbed its eco-friendly message — and toys.

Now, 30 years later, it’s coming back as a live-action series for Netflix.

Variety reported that Captain Planet and the Planeteers is on its way to being adapted into a live-action series at Netflix, with Greg Berlanti and Leonardo DiCaprio as executive producers. Netflix declined to comment.

Captain Planet is a 90s TV series created by Ted Turner, Robert Larkin III, and Barbara Pyle.

There have been various efforts to adapt Captain Planet over the years, including a movie for DiCaprio, but they never went anywhere. This Netflix adaptation, however, feels more certain, although we know nothing of plot details, casting, or a release window.

The original television series, Captain Planet and the Planeteers, is an environmentally conscious show that tells the story of five kids from different areas of the world who are each given a magical ring that grants them the ability to control a specific element. When all five join forces, they can summon an environmental superhero named Captain Planet.

Captain Planet was a form of edutainment that advocated the United Nations as an organization, and the concepts of globalism, multiculturalism, and environmentalism.
