As we all know, there is only one reliable mode of transportation.. and that my friends, is the Magic School Bus!

Netflix just dropped the trailer for the reboot of the old classic, this time named ‘Magic School Bus Rides Again’, and it is a whole new twist on the old fave. Miss Frizz hands the keys off to her sister (voiced by the one and only Kate Mackinnon), and the students are setting up to go on quite an adventure!

Netflix said this in a press release about the project :

The kids are back at Walkerville School for another school year of astonishing, out-of-this-world field trips in this all-new reimagining of the iconic science-comedy-adventure series The Magic School Bus. But this year, there’s a new Frizzle (Kate McKinnon)! The younger sister of the famed Professor Frizzle (Lily Tomlin) has taken over the classroom! But worry not ? the new Ms Frizzle shares her sister’s zany ways and passion for science. Field trips this year are wilder than ever, into the clouds, across the internet, riding the continents ? even a plunge into the depths of the Sun itself! And along the way, the kids we know and love bring their science investigations into the 21st century – still taking chances, making mistakes and getting messy! 

It looks like they pulled out all the stops for the series, as they even hired Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton and Moana fame) to sing the theme.

Twitter seems pretty stoked on this news, as #MagicSchoolBus began trending when the trailer hit YouTube.
