The show saw the titular shape-shifting Scottish warrior guide young contestants through a mythical land in order to find the next Ultimate Warrior. The 15&#215;30-minute reboot, which is being made by Children&#8217;s Scotland for CBBC, is due to debut later this year. It will feature a back story for Raven and a variety of mental and physical challenges. Nick Gunaydin is serving as series producer.<\/p>\n<p>Toussaint commented: \u201cI&#8217;m absolutely thrilled to be the new Raven. I was a massive fan of the original series and remember rushing home from school so I didn&#8217;t miss an episode\u2014it was always so exciting. I used to dream of one day being a warrior contestant\u2014I never for a second imagined that I&#8217;d one day be Raven. My 11-year-old self would be gobsmacked! Pulling on the costume for the very first time was a very special moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cheryl Taylor, controller for CBBC, noted: \u201c<em>Raven<\/em> has always inspired a passionate and loyal following from CBBC fans and it&#8217;s clear from the number of children keen to participate in the new series that its enduring and powerful appeal lives on. The return of <em>Raven<\/em> has caused great excitement and we wait with anticipation to meet the new cast and immerse ourselves in this legendary battle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sara Harkins, executive producer, added: \u201cWe are so excited that <em>Raven<\/em> is back. The new series will be filled to the brim with challenges which will test our Warriors&#8217; bravery. It\u2019s also a wonderful opportunity to showcase the stunning Scottish landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The hit kids&#8217; fantasy adventure show Raven is slated to return to CBBC with a new format and Aisha Toussaint (BBC Scotland&#8217;s River City) in the lead role.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":479,"featured_media":12542,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[2778,433,2779],"class_list":["post-12541","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-aisha-toussaint","tag-cbbc","tag-raven","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
