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. [4]

Voice cast and characters

Production

Spy Kids: Mission Critical was produced by The Weinstein Company and Netflix and was scheduled for release in 2018. [5] The first and second seasons each consist of 10 episodes [6] and was produced by Mainframe Studios. [7]

The series was announced by Mike Fleming, Jr. with Michael Hefferon and Sean Jara as show's creators. The show's villains were described to be as "colorful" as the protagonists. The series was said to contain "as much comedy as wish fulfillment". [8] FM DeMarco is the head writer of the series. [9] WOW! Unlimited Media Inc.'s Vancouver-based Mainframe Studios, the TV division of Rainmaker Entertainment, partnered with the Weinstein Company to produce the series, [10] [11] with the series having a multi-season commitment. [12] John Tellegen was one of the show's writers. [13] Robert Rodriguez and Bob Weinstein were executive producers due to Harvey Weinstein firing, 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 voiced Carmen, Juni, PSI, Ingrid, Golden Brain and Gregorio respectively. [14] 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. [15] [16] [17] On April 18, 2 days before the show's launch, the Weinstein Company was removed as distributor. Dimension Television, a division of Dimension Films, took over production for the first 2 seasons and is credited. Bob Weinstein's name was also removed from the show, but he was credited in 4 episodes.
