Official synopsis

"[101 Dalmatian Street] depicts the adventures of eldest dalmatian siblings Dylan and Dolly, parents Doug and Delilah, and 97 younger puppies, all with names beginning with "D," who live all by themselves at the titular address."^[1]

The new show doesn’t follow the characters we know from the movies. In fact, the creators claim they purposely didn’t watch any of the direct-to DVD sequels, live-action movies or spin-off TV show from the 90’s. The new show takes place in modern London and follows a completely new family of Dalmatians, with Delilah, the mother, being a direct descendant of Pongo and Perdita. Her husband Douglas is an American firefighter dog and one thing they have in common is lots of kids from their previous marriages… 99 in total. - oneofus.net.
