The channel has renewed its agreement with ITV Global Entertainment and BBC Two to show all 32 of the Supermarionation series' episodes as part of their primetime lineup from spring 2009. Anderson's Joe 90 and Stingray will also air alongside cult shows on Sci Fi such as Star Trek, Heroes and Angel.
In addition, Sunday, December 28 will see BBC Two air documentaries Stingray - The Reunion Party, the 60-minute All About Thunderbirds and popular episode 'Attack Of The Alligators' back-to-back.
ITV Global's Tobi de Graaf said: "We're delighted to be announcing the continuing deal with the Sci Fi Channel alongside the special event on the BBC this Christmas, which includes newly created TV content.
Thunderbirds is a hugely successful licence for ITV Global Entertainment and we’re confident it will continue to be as popular in 2009."
