The Batman alum Duane Capizzi will serve as co-executive producer and showrunner alongside The Tick veteran CJ Kettler and Caroline Fraser as executive in charge of production.

The character began as a geography-teaching computer game, and etched a permanent place in pop culture with game shows Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?, and Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego? From there, the franchise evolved into the animated Where on Earth Is Carmen Sandiego? series, with plenty of books, comics, and film attempts since.

2019 may seem like a long time to wait, but at least we know where in time Carmen Sandiego is. Stay tuned for more details along the way.
