Variety

The 2000-2004 Nickelodeon Mexican-American family sitcom is being rebooted by co-creator Jeff Valdez and Sol Trujilo as the sequel series The Garcias. "Reviving the world of Brothers Garcia has been a long mission for Valdez," reports Variety. "The original series revolved around four children – three boys and a girl – in a Mexican American family living in San Antonio, Texas. The new iteration finds the Garcia children grown up and gathering with their parents for a three-month summer vacation in a luxury home by the beach. The six core original cast members will reprise their roles. A number of original writers, directors and crew members from the Nickelodeon series are signing on again to bring the Garcia clan back to life." Ada Maris and Carlos Lacamara will reprise their roles as parents Sonia and Ray Garcia. lvin Alvarez, Jeffrey Licon and Bobby Gonzalez are back as brothers Larry, Carlos and George, as is Vaneza Pitynski as sister Lorena. “The original show was always about a simple slice of life story that happened in this family,” Valdez said. “In every episode there’s a lesson to be learned. We wanted to keep that simple contract with our audience.”
