Netflix is officially bringing back Spy Kids.
The kids action franchise that played a role in defining the 2000s is headed to the streaming giant courtesy of Robert Rodriguez, who will relaunch and reimagine the property, THR reports.
Rodriguez, who is fresh off working on Book of Boba Fett, will write, direct and produce the new movie, which will reportedly introduce a new family of spies. Rodriguez inked a deal with Spyglass Media in 2021 to revive the series.
Originally released in 2001, Spy Kids featured Alexa PenaVega and Daryl Sabara trying to save their super spy parents. It went on to receive three more sequels between 2002 and 2011, including Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over, which has Juni Cortez venturing into a video game. Rodriguez directed all of the films.
In addition to the movies, Netflix published an animated series titled Spy Kids: Mission Critical, which premiered in 2018. It went on to feature two 10 episodes seasons.
The latest Spy Kids revival does not yet have a release date.
