Want more Spy Kids? You got it! The spy family action-adventure series is the latest franchise to be rebooted by Hollywood.
According to a new report, Netflix has closed a deal to reboot the franchise, which first premiered back in 2001. Skydance Media had actually optioned the rights originally, but for some reason, their vision didn’t work out and now Netflix is in control.
Spyglass Media owns the ‘Spy Kids’ franchise and remains on board. Robert Rodriguez, who created the original series, has returned for the upcoming reboot, which he will write and direct. Plot details have not been revealed, but the next generation of ‘Spy Kids’ will revolve around the activities of a multicultural family.
It’s not clear if the original stars of the film will play any part in this reboot, but we’ll keep you posted.
For those who don’t remember, this franchise was very popular back in the early 2000s. The original film made nearly $150 million at the box office in 2001. There were a total of three sequels. In total, the franchise has brought in over $550 million worldwide.
Fun fact, Daryl Sabara, the kid who played Juni in the franchise, is now married to Meghan Trainor. Last year, they welcomed their first baby together.
