"She's back," reads the poster's tagline.

Jane the Virgin star Gina Rodriguez is set to voice Carmen Sandiego in the animated series before portraying the character in an upcoming live-action film, also from Netflix.

The first season of the animated series will run for 20 episodes.

Carmen Sandiego began as a computer game series that followed the thief as she traveled the world in search of treasure. The series later inspired a game show, a book series and a television series which ran for four seasons on Fox from 1994 to 1999.
