Pee-wee Herman’s next adventure is coming to Netflix.

The online video company says it will debut a new film featuring Paul Reubens as the bow tie-clad character from stage, TV and film.

Netflix says the film will be called Pee-wee’s Big Holiday and will feature Pee-wee taking his first-ever vacation after meeting a mysterious stranger.

Reubens first created the quirky character in the 1980s when he was a member of the Groundlings improv group.

Netflix currently streams the Pee-wee films Pee-wee’s Big Adventure and Big Top Pee-wee, as well as the TV show The Pee-wee Herman Show and Pee-wee’s Playhouse.

Pee-wee’s Big Holiday is being produced by Judd Apatow and directed by John Lee. Reubens is writing the movie’s script with Paul Rust.

Netflix says production will begin this year.
