The Brothers Garcia Reboot | Cast, Plot, Premiere Date
"The Brothers Garcia" Is Being Revived For a New Series
HBO Max is reviving another classic series for its latest reboot project. "The Brothers Garcia," the hit Latinx sitcom that aired on Nickelodeon in the early 2000s, is being reimagined as a new series titled "The Garcias."
The reboot aims to bolster US Latinx representation to create a "sense of normalcy" and dismantle the typical cookie-cutter stereotypes. "The Brothers Garcia" was considered a groundbreaking show for being the first English-language sitcom to have an all Latinx cast and creative team. But this time, 81 percent of "The Garcias"'s cast consists of Latinx actors, while the other 19 percent are Asian and Pacific Islander Americans (APIA).
"The Brothers Garcia" ran for four seasons from 2000 to 2004. Some of the original members from the Garcia family will reunite once again in the forthcoming reboot. The new family series, which has been ten years in the making, will make its way to HBO Max on April 14. Jeff Valdez — who co-created the original show alongside Mike and Gibby Cevallos — serves as the executive producer and showrunner.

"The Garcias" Plot
"The Garcias" picks up on the original Nickelodeon series 15 years later, with the Garcia kids all grown up juggling families of their own. The show will follow the extended Garcia family, who are based in San Antonio, TX, as they travel for a summer holiday in their fancy Riviera Maya beach home. There, the family will embark on a journey of self-discovery to understand what it takes to be a "familia."
