“I think mum and dad… are spies.” That’s the sound of Spy Kids heading back to our screens – and a new trailer gives us a first look at Netflix’s revival of the franchise.

Spy Kids: Armageddon is a reboot that introduces a new generation of spies: the Tango-Torrez family. Robert Rodriguez co-wrote the film with his son, Racer, and his son, Rebel, composed the film’s score.

When the children of the world’s greatest secret agents unwittingly help a powerful Game Developer unleash a computer virus that gives him control of all technology, they must become spies themselves to save their parents and the world. The titular kids Tony and Patty are played by newcomers Connor Esterson and Everly Carganilla. Zachary Levi and Gina Rodriguez play their parents, Terrence and Nora, and Billy Magnussen is diabolical new villain Rey “The King” Kingston. 

You can see them in action on 22nd September, when the film premieres on Netflix UK.
