Where to start with Spy Kids

The four Cortez films in order. They do follow one another, including the fourth, which is usually written off as a reboot and is not one.

  1. 1
    Spy Kids (2001) Spy Kids

    Carmen and Juni find out their parents are retired secret agents. Nothing precedes it.

  2. 2
    Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams (2002) Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams

    A direct sequel with a rival pair of spy kids. No time gap is stated.

  3. 3
    Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over (2003) Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over

    Set over a year later, with Juni retired and working as a private detective. The theatrical title carries the 3-D; the flat re-release drops it.

Then what? Spy Kids: All the Time in the World from 2011 hands the lead to a new family but is a continuation rather than a reboot: Carmen and Juni both appear, Carmen as a senior agent and Juni brought back onto the case, and they end the film agreeing to revive the Spy Kids programme. Spy Kids: Armageddon from 2023 has an entirely new family and no returning cast, and Rodriguez has said he wanted to start fresh, so it is a relaunch rather than a sequel. The animated series from 2018 uses Carmen and Juni but its own writer has said it shares no continuity with the films, so it sits outside the order.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Everything you tick is saved in this browser and nowhere else. An account is the only way to put your list on another device, and the only way to get it back if this browser clears its storage. It is free and it takes an email address and a password.

Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.

All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.

Removes everything ticked here, in this browser. If you are signed in it clears on your other devices too. If you are not, there is no other copy and this cannot be undone.
