It seems the nature of Monkey really is gothic eroticism"...irrepressible!"

The late '70s cult classic Japanese TV show is back, baby! Monkeyis getting a remake as 10 half-hour episodes on Netflix.

According to the ABC, production is underway on the rebooted version of the kung-fu heavy show, called The Legend of Monkey, in New Zealand. The new version is slated to run on Australia and New Zealand's public broadcasters too.

For the uninitiated, Monkeywas based on the Chinese novel, Journey to the Westby Wu Cheng'en. Although the generation of Australian kids who watched the Buddha-quoting, BBC-dubbed show weeknightly (andfor three hours on Saturdays) weren't aware of that. They just saw a dude that could command clouds and kick arse.

For them, the appeal was all about the hammed-up acting, kitsch special effects and sick martial arts moves that were easy to DIY at home. Just grab the nearest stick and start threatening your siblings into a duel, kids!

Fun fact: Monkeywas not only translated into English. It also got Spanish and Zulu versions. Yep. It reached well beyond Asia -- being screened in Europe, Africa and South America, as well as Down Under.

Instead of Japanese actors like the '70s version, the reboot features a cast of Australian and Kiwi talent of mixed heritage, including comedian Josh Thomson as Pigsy (whose original incarnation was a borderline sex pest TBH) and Thai-Australian actor Chai Hansen as Monkey.

Reactions to the news are mixed. Fans are either excited, annoyed that literally everything needs to be remade, or dismayed that the series doesn't feature a more diverse cast of East Asian-Australian talent.

We'll have to wait and see if the reboot is as ~magic~ as the original. Who knows, maybe we'll have another 20 years ofdailyMonkeyrepeats ahead of us?
