And the cast...On the surface, Marissa Cortez Wilson (Jessica Alba) has it all…married to a famous spy hunting television reporter, a new baby and intelligent twin step kids. But in reality, trying to mother Rebecca (Rowan Blanchard) and Cecil (Mason Cook), who clearly don’t want her around, is her toughest challenge yet. Also, her husband, Wilbur (Joel McHale), wouldn’t know a spy if he lived with one which is exactly the case – Marissa’s a retired secret agent.
Marissa’s world is turned upside down when the maniacal Timekeeper (Jeremy Piven) threatens to take over the planet and she’s called back into action by the head of OSS, home of the greatest spies and where the now-defunct Spy Kids division was created. With Armageddon quickly approaching, Rebecca and Cecil are thrust into action when they learn their boring stepmom was once a top agent and now the world’s most competitive ten year olds are forced to put their bickering aside and rely on their wits. With a little help from a couple of very familiar Spy Kids, Carmen (Alexa Vega) and Juni Cortez (Daryl Sabara), and some mind-blowing gadgets, they just may be able to save the world and possibly bring their family together while they’re at it.
Disney Channel has ordered the live-action comedy series "A.N.T. Farm" (working title), it was announced today by Gary Marsh, President, Entertainment, and Chief Creative Officer, Disney Channels Worldwide. "A.N.T. Farm" will begin production in early 2011.
The series stars 12-year-old China McClain ("House of Payne") as middle schooler Chyna Sparks, a music prodigy who gets into a gifted program, Accelerated Natural Talent, at the local high school. She, along with her fellow ANTS, must now navigate the halls of high school where they're not particularly fond of grade-skipping newbies.
In addition to McClain, "A.N.T. Farm" includes a roster of talented young actors: Sierra McCormick ("Ramona and Beezus"), Jake Short ("Dexter") and Stefanie Scott ("Flipped").
The series pilot was written by Dan Signer ("The Suite Life on Deck") and directed by Bob Koherr ("Hannah Montana," "Wizards of Waverly Place").
This sound's very exciting! One Disney Channel 2011 show down a few more to go!
