And now, the iconic educational PBS series is getting rebooted. And it couldn\u2019t come at a better time, as literacy rates have plummeted among young kids in recent years. Although Burton won\u2019t be coming back as host, sadly, the producers have found a perfect replacement. Our new host is TikTok star and public library advocate Mychal Threets, aka Mychal the Librarian. The news comes to us from the folks at <em><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bookriot.com\/new-host-of-reading-rainbow\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Bookriot,;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Bookriot,<\/a> <\/em>and you can watch the video announcement down below:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Judging from the brief announcement teaser, it looks like the new series will follow the formula of the original. If it ain\u2019t broke, don\u2019t fix it, as they say. And from the look of things, several big-name celebrities will appear, like <em>The Fantastic Four: First Steps\u2019<\/em> <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nerdist.com\/article\/fantastic-four-ebon-moss-bachrach-reveals-details-on-the-thing\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Ebon Moss-Bachrach;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Ebon Moss-Bachrach<\/a>, as well as John Legend, Adam DeVine, Gabrielle Union, and several other known names. But what we really want to know is, are we getting the iconic theme music back from the original show?
