Kodak first announced its plans to bring Ektachrome 35mm film back from the dead in January at CES. But if you were worried that the announcement was just a lot of marketing hype, you have nothing to fear: it seems the resurrection of Ektachrome is proceeding apace, with full production scheduled for 2018.
This news broke over Twitter, of all places, thanks to an inquisitive Kodak fan named Karen Wink. She asked Kodak what the ETA on the Ektachrome comeback was, to which Kodak replied:
We're working towards having limited supply of Ektachrome film available for market testing by year end with availability in 2018

If you're a fan of the old film, it won't be long before you can get your hands on a fresh roll of 36 exposures in the 35mm format.
