In 2005, Warner Bros. Animation released a soft reboot to the series, featuring TBD designs and incorporating elements commonly used back then such as computers and cell phones, airing on Cartoon Network until TBD 2009.

A second reboot, featuring the same voice cast as the previous incarnation, premiered on the same channel on TBD 2018, although, unlike its previous incarnations, is known for being rather darker and less comedic, much in the likes of ''Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated''.

Trivia

 * According to the series, Stanley is 17, Grace is 12, Samuel is 9, and Molly is 7.
 * Unlike most 1980s Hanna-Barbera original cartoon series, Supernova Spies had become into a cultural icon, as well as a media franchise.
 * The Smurfs is the only exception, given the fact it was based on a preexisting comic book franchise.
 * Like Scooby-Doo, the show has also received several direct-to-video films.
 * Due to its different style animation (which looked like 1980s Hanna-Barbera comedy cartoon series such as Pound Puppies, The Flintstones spin-offs, and crossover series like Yogi's Treasure Hunt) and having more comical elements, the series is considered an improvement over Hanna-Barbera's other action cartoon series such as Jonny Quest, Space Ghost and Birdman and the Galaxy Trio.
