Supernanny Jo Frost is returning to screens with new US series in January

Supernanny is coming back to our TV screens next year after eight years away.

The  hit series that followed professional nanny Jo Frost tackling the parenting problems of families across America, is coming back for 20 all-new episodes on Lifetime.

The trailer adopts a Taken theme as Frost, 48, receives an ominous phone call while seated in the back of a black SUV.

After being told that “the subject has taken matters into his own hands,” she leaves a message inspired by Liam Neeson'‘s speech in the thriller, reports the Mirror .

As Jo is whisked along a suburban street in a convoy of black SUVs, she tells the operator "put him on now".

"I don't know who you are, but let me tell you what I'm doing here," she says menacingly into the phone.

"I'm here because I have a specific set of skills. Skills that I have perfected throughout my entire career."

She walks into the ruined house as she continues talking quietly on the phone.

"Dealing with people just like you. If you listen to me now, this whole situation may turn out different for you," she tells the person on the other end.

"But if you don't... Oh if you don't, I will fix that," she says as she comes face to face with a girl sitting in an office chair.

The girl leans forward and whispers: "Good. Luck."

Speaking ahead of the launch date, Jo said she has returned as Supernanny in the wake of cuts in government spending in the US.

"I'm looking forward to families across America having access to my parental education surrounding their family challenges, as this country/government is short on providing the resources, staff and funding families so desperately need in society," she said.

"The USA. has changed, it is hurting, families are struggling more, families are less confident then ever.

"The style of the show, the family issues are also over a wider spectrum and cover many different global issues… [the] internet has changed much," Jo added.

*Supernanny airs from January 1 at 10pm on Lifetime
