Comic Book Resources had a chance to chat with Thundercats 2011 Executive Producer Ethan Spaulding. Here are some choice quotes from the interview.
“This skews slightly older — probably ten and up,” Norton added. “And we definitely had the ‘ThunderDads’ in mind. We’re ThunderDads ourselves, some of us. There’s definitely something in here where old school fans are going to notice things and get that familiarity, but at the same time it’s going to be new. We found a way to wipe the slate and pay homage to the original spirit of the show.”
“The series sort of starts in the middle of the story. We have a pretty vast mythology that we’re developing, and it’s a slow burn. You’re not going to find out the whole story in the first three episodes. You’re not going to find the whole story out in the first 26 episodes. But we have a story mapped out that if you’re patient, all your questions are going to be eventually answered.”

Yes! This made my day. It's so nice to hear things like this. I hope they planned out the whole story, actually, as I hate shows that go on much longer than they needed to and shows that end before they actually take off. Anyway, I'm happy to hear everything won't be obvious from the first few episodes
