Rebooted is the third season of the animated television series Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu (titled Ninjago from the eleventh season onward). The series was created by Michael Hegner and Tommy Andreasen. The season aired from 29 January to 26 November 2014, following the second season titled Legacy of the Green Ninja.[1] It is succeeded by the fourth season, titled Tournament of Elements.
The second season was originally intended to be the final season of the series due to the show and its associated Lego Ninjago product line having been planned as a three-year project. However, due to the strong performance of the television series and feedback from fans within online forums, it was continued with the release of Rebooted.[2]
Although the season is titled Rebooted, it is a continuation of the storyline from the previous seasons, rather than a reboot. The season reintroduces Ninjago City with new advanced technology and features the return of the Overlord in digital form as the season's main antagonist. Rebooted is also the first season to introduce the nindroid character P.I.X.A.L. into the series.[3]

Inspired from Zane's father, Ninjago City was rebuilt by Cyrus Borg into a futuristic metropolis with more advanced technology. However, the Overlord returns as a computer virus and took control of all of Borg's technology and got an army of Nindroids. The Overlord wanted to steal Lloyd's golden powers that made him the Golden Ninja, with the help from Pythor. The ninja had to stop the Overlord from becoming the unstoppable Golden Master, who had once terrorised the serpentine.
The third season of Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu continued the popularity of the preceding seasons and built on its ratings from the previous years.
