New Captain Scarlet is a British animated remake of the 1960s Supermarionation series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. Both series were produced by Gerry Anderson. As a nod to Supermarionation, the new series' animation was promoted as "Hypermarionation". It was the last show that Anderson produced.
The series premiered on the ITV network in February 2005. Instead of having its own timeslot, each episode of New Captain Scarlet was shown within the children's Saturday morning children television show, Ministry of Mayhem. Anderson was unhappy with this scheduling decision, claiming the show was ignored.
The Radio Times said fans "felt the essence of the show had been pixelated away", while The Register called the series a "rehash".
