Netflix has revealed it will be rebooting the much loved Australian TV series Heartbreak High.

The original '90s show only just landed on the streaming service and it appears the love has been so high that they want to keep the good times rolling.

Netflix wrote in a post on Twitter: "Inspired by the original '90s series, but totally reimagined for a new generation, Heartbreak High will make its global debut on Netflix in 2022."

The show has been likened Degrassi High and will no doubt spark a lot of joy that the show will get a modern twist.

The series is a spin-off of a movie named The Heartbreak Kid, which starred Alex Dimitriades and Claudia Karvan. That movie is based on the play of the same name by Richard Barrett.

Que Minh Luu, Netflix's Director of Originals in Australia, said in a statement: "We haven't had a rebellious Australian YA series on screen since the original Heartbreak High, so this is well overdue.

"The new Heartbreak High, is for young people in Australia today to feel seen - showcasing their stories, senses of humour and aesthetics to the world, and reminding everyone that they are much, much cooler than us.

"It's also for the 90s kids, fans of the original series who remember what it's like to feel understood by a TV show, then racking off. This Netflix show will be ours, and we can't wait to get started."

If you can't wait until 2022, then you can still watch all 210 episodes of the original series on Netflix.
