The BBC has shared a first-look photo from its forthcoming adaptation of author Enid Blyton's classic series of books The Famous Five.
Sharing the photo, the BBC said: "The much-anticipated cast of The Famous Five has today been announced with Diaana Babnicova playing the role of George, alongside Elliott Rose as Julian, Kit Rakusen as Dick, and Flora Jacoby Richardson as Anne, playing George's cousins who come to stay at Kirrin Cottage.
"Making up the fifth member of The Famous Five, and the gang's faithful furry friend, is Kip, the Bearded Collie Cross, playing Timmy the dog."
Irish Game of Thrones star Jack Gleeson is also among the cast of The Famous Five, playing the villainous-looking Wentworth.
"The series, made in co-production with German ZDF, follows the five daring young explorers as they encounter treacherous, action-packed adventures, remarkable mysteries, unparalleled danger, and astounding secrets in an unforgettable odyssey that evokes the power of camaraderie between the fearless young heroes," the BBC added.
Tim Kirkby, the director of episode one of the new series and one of the show's executive producers, said: "Our brilliant young cast are mind-blowingly talented and, along with Kip (playing Timmy), they are already bringing these gorgeous characters to life in a fresh and modern way."
He promised fans "glorious, action-filled, epic, family adventures".
Also on board as an executive producer is Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn.
A premiere date for The Famous Five is yet to be announced.
First published in 1942, Blyton's original book series The Famous Five consisted of 21 adventures. Her heroes have appeared on the big screen and television numerous times over the decades.
