While the original MythBusters team has disbanded, Adam Savage is back with a version aimed at kids.

Slated to premiere late 2018, the Science Channel series is dubbed MythBusters Jr., and will feature Savage as host and executive producer.

The 10-episode series will give six kids a chance to show off how clever they are, demonstrating their STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) skills.

Savage will help kids on the program tackle myths like in the original series, spurring on the next generation of scientists to explode things and whatnot.

"I'm so excited to be returning to Discovery to work with these kids on a new incarnation of the show I love so much," Savage said in a statement.

"To be able to confront them with great questions and the resources to answer them is such a dream."

Of course, Mythbusters was rebooted last year, with new hosts Jon Lung and Brian Louden who were found through a televised talent search.
