The Spy Kids franchise is headed to Netflix! The streamer is joining forces with Robert Rodriguez – who created the superspy family action-comedy film series – to relaunch the property. Any plot details are being kept in a top secret vault, but the new Spy Kids intends to introduce a new, multicultural family of spies.

The original movies starred Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino as spies captured on assignment, whose kids (played by Alexa PenaVega and Daryl Sabara) take it upon themselves to rescue their parents. The very successful original Spy Kids series comprised four films released between 2001 and 2011, and featured truckloads of wacky CGI, cheesy action and super-cool gadgets.

Rodriguez has since directed modern genre classics such as Sin City, Planet Terror and Alita: Battle Angelas well as helming episodes of Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. Rodriguez is confirmed to write and direct the as-yet-unnamed reboot.
