Donald Faison has joined The CW's live-action The Powerpuff Girls series as Professor Drake Utonium!

The series, now titled simply Powerpuff, was first announced as being in development back in August 2020. It is based on the Cartoon Network series created by Craig McCracken. The Scrubs star joins Chloe Bennet as Blossom, Dove Cameron as Bubbles, and Yana Perrault as Buttercup.

Faison’s Professor Utonium is described as quirky, debonair, and a pinch narcissistic. He is a scientific genius who is immensely proud of the three extraordinary girls he created in his lab. Staring down a midlife crisis, he is determined to repair his relationships with his now-adult daughters.

Powerpuff sees the pint-sized superheroes as disillusioned twentysomethings who resent having lost their childhood to crime fighting. Will they agree to reunite now that the world needs them more than ever?
