However, it seems the colourful characters are returning once again, as Netflix made an official announcement on its Twitter page today.

Alongside a snap of the iconic foursome, the tweet read: “Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po are back!

“The Teletubbies — and new narrator Tituss Burgess — are coming to Netflix on November 14th!”

Fans immediately started tweeting about the news, with one writing: “Can we have an origin story of how they met, how they exist, why they have a television in their tummy, if anyone of them is gay or bi (I bet Tinky Winky is ace).

“I have so many question in mind for all my life.”

Another tweeted: “I can’t think of anyone I’d rather see narrate the Teletubbies this is amazingggg.”

A third added: “I will watch anything with Tituss in it!”

Meanwhile a fourth shared: “I’ve been waiting for this.”

Fans were particularly excited about Tituss signing up as the new narrator.

The 43-year-old actor has won a legion of fans thanks to his role in Netflix comedy series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

He has also starred in a number of Broadway musicals and is known for his high tenor voice.

The Teletubbies premieres on Netflix on November 14.
