Nickelodeon‘s popular family series The Garcia brothers returns nearly 20 years later with the original cast who are now adults and parents themselves. The updated series, The Garcías visits the Garcia family in 2022 and also The new generation.
Showrunner Jeff Valdez told Showbiz Cheat Sheet that he’s longed to return to the characters for years. After regaining the rights to the Garcia family, he went ahead and published in full force The Garcíasan updated version of the series HBO Max. Valdez said the timing for the sweet series couldn’t have been better as more programming leaned toward dark cynicism.
The World Needs A Little More Time With The Garcias
said Valdez The Garcías are exactly what the country needs right now. “I think the universe has some kind of game plan,” he mused. “And it’s a good feeling, a good show. We’re very proud that it’s a feel-good show.” He joked, “And you know, there aren’t any of our episodes that have zombies trying to eat your face off.”
Even though the series will stream on HBO Max, viewers should expect the same wholesome comedy they’ve been looking for from Nickelodeon. “By the way, there’s literally only one swear word in 10 episodes,” he recalled. “And that’s the word ‘damn’.” In another scene, the parents drink wine with dinner, but that’s about as classy as The Garcías Valdez will be told.
The cast of The Brothers Garcia were excited to get back together
Valdez also said that getting the old cast to return to the series was easy. Every original cast member returned. “It was literally a phone call to tell them I have the rights and you’re interested? Everyone said, “Yes! That would be great!’ Because you know what? There was such a family that we created with this original show,” he noted.

“Some stayed in touch,” he continued. “Some lost touch over the years, but when we all got together at my house and everyone was like, ‘Oh my god, that would be so much fun.’ And literally after 18 or 17 years they all ended up in the same room. It was like having an old friend you love and just picking it up like it was yesterday.”
The atomic salsa returns on HBO Max’s The Garcias
He also continued to knit the three generations together The Garcías. Instead of the series being set in Texas, the family vacations together at a luxurious, sprawling estate in Mexico. The framework was perfect for bringing all three generations into one place.
Valdez also finished the first episode of The Garcías That’s how the show began – with the return of atomic salsa. But this time, one of the children is determined to devour the searingly hot, life-changing dish. Valdez laughed because the atomic salsa was something his family — and many Latino families — often have at home.
“You can’t have a salsa glass without the aluminum foil on it,” he laughed. “Every Latino family has the salsa with the aluminum foil on it. And they’re like, ‘That’s daddy’s salsa!’”
Valdez said his father made his own version of Atom salsa, but he took the recipe to his grave. All Valdez knows is that it sizzled. “But I think he used habanero and jalapeños. And mix them with the tomatoes and onions. And it was brutally hot.”
on The Garcia brothers, no one has really tried Papa’s salsa. But this time… will the kids be successful?
