Actress Dani Harmer, 31, will be reprising her role as Tracy Beaker, and said she is "over to moon" about the new series.
Talking to The Sun, she said: "I can’t wait to return again to the role of Tracy. I'm a fan myself.
"I want to know what happens next and where this journey takes her. Being a mother, I know how much it changes you."
She added: "I’m looking forward to seeing how it has changed Tracy but still keeping her the same feisty, strong female lead that people know and love".
The Story of Tracy Beaker, the original series, aired on CBBC from 2002 to 2005.
Five years later, the cast returned to our screens in Tracy Beaker Returns from 2010 to 2012.
While we know Dani is returning for the new chapter, it's still unknown if we'll see any of the other children from the dumping ground.
