Creator and director of the films in the franchise, Robert Rodriguez returns to his roles behind the camera in the new production, which does not yet have a preview date.
Rodriguez released the original film in 2001, followed by “Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams” the following year and “Spy Kids 3: Game Over” shortly thereafter. But he let several years go by to reprise the saga with “Spy Kids 4” in 2011, showing the original children as teenagers.
The original cast included Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino as parents, and Alexa PenaVega and Daryl Sabara as children. Up until the current film, the four actors had participated in the entire franchise.
The new “Spy Kids” is Rodriguez’s second children’s revival on Netflix. The reboot of “Spy Kids” was commissioned shortly after the success of “Tiny Great Heroes”, in which the director saved the characters from his film “The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D” (2005) for the platform streaming. .
