Spy Kids: Mission Critical

Spy Kids: Mission Critical is an American CGI-animated adventure-comedy children's television series based on the Spy Kids franchise by Robert Rodriguez and produced by Dimension Television and animated by Mainframe Studios. It was released in two seasonal swathes of 10 episodes each on April 20 and November 30, 2018 on Netflix in the United States.

Plot
In Mission Critical, brother-and-sister team Juni and Carmen Cortez attend Spy Kids Academy, a top-secret spy school for kid agents. When a new counter-spy agency threatens the safety of the world, it will be up to junior spies Juni and Carmen to train and lead a team of fellow Spy Kids cadets against the forces of S.W.A.M.P. (Sinister Wrongdoers Against Mankind's Preservation) and their diabolical leader, Golden Brain. The Mission Critical team may not be ready, but they are the only ones to call when grown-up spies can't do the job. == Voice cast and characters ==

Production
The production was announced as a production by The Weinstein Company and Netflix and was scheduled for release in 2018. The two seasons each consist of 10 episodes and were co-produced by Mainframe Studios as part of a deal between its parent company, Wow Unlimited Media, TWC and Netflix. Mike Fleming, Jr. of Deadline Hollywood announced the composition, look and style of the series whose creators were revealed as Michael Hefferon, president of Rainmaker Studios (which would be consolidated under Mainframe Studios itself in 2020) and Sean Jara, who created the Nickelodeon series Mysticons the year prior. The villains in the show were described to be as "colorful" as the protagonists. The series was said to contain "as much comedy as wish fulfillment". FM DeMarco is the head writer of the series. John Tellegen was one of the show's writers. Robert Rodriguez and Bob Weinstein served executive producers due to the firing of the latter's brother Harvey, thus making it the first Weinstein Company title not to have Harvey's involvement. Ashley Bornancin, Carter Hastings, Travis Turner, Mira Sorvino, Tom Kenny and Christian Lanz were announced as voice cast for Carmen, Juni, PSI, Ingrid, Golden Brain and Gregorio respectively. FM De Marco said that he had "many inspirations for the series but it has its own very specific style and attitude". He also said that the show has a nice mix of all kinds of humor, and contains old and new characters. Travis Turner faced controversy for being cast as the voice of PSI, a black character, since Travis himself is white. Just before the 18 April launch, the Weinstein Company was removed and replaced with Dimension Television, the television label of Dimension Films, which handled production in-series, as the distributor. Bob Weinstein's name was also removed from the show's credits in all but 4 episodes. == Episodes ==
