HBO Max “The Garcias” is Breaking Down Latino Stereotypes

HBO Max The Garcias is Breaking Down Latino Stereotypes

The all NEW HBO Max series, “The Garcias” is now streaming. There’s a lot of buzz surrounding this new show, and we had a chance to talk to the sensational cast.

“The Garcias” are a successful multigenerational familia, with both modern and traditional Latinx values. This new series showcases a loving family in not so stereotypical roles. It is truly refreshing and way overdue. It’s not about gangs, drugs, and/or about latino hired help. It’s about time… We LOVE this HBO!

Watch our exclusive interviews below!

“The Garcias,”  is HBO Max’s reboot of the hit Nickelodeon series The Brothers Garcia, and comes from New Cadence Productions, the banner founded by Brothers Garcia co-creator and executive producer Jeff Valdez.

SYNOPSIS:

After 15 years, the Garcia kids are grown up and now have children of their own. The new extended Garcia family travels to the beautiful Riviera Maya in Mexico, a place full of self-discovery, where they will all learn what it really takes to be a “familia.”

Talent Interviews: 

  • Paired: Bobby Gonzalez (George Garcia) & Nitzia Chama (Ana Camacho, George’s wife)
  • Paired: Jeffrey Licon (Carlos Garcia) & Elsha Kim (Yunjin Huh, Carlos’ wife) & Trinity Jo-Li Bliss (Alexa Huh Garcia) 
  • Paired: Vaneza Pitynski (Lorena Garcia)

Watch“The Garcias” on HBOMAX with your entire familia today!

WHY A REBOOT?

The Brothers Garcia received numerous awards, positive reviews and lots of publicity around over 50 produced episodes that aired in over 40 countries in multiple languages. It is one of a handful of shows ever produced that shed a positive, humorous light on a family that happened to be Latino.

However, because there continues to be a lack of shows that portray Latinos with a sense of normalcy, the mission behind The Garcias is to champion the aspirational family-centric values of the Latino community and to share these universal themes that will entertain, educate and inspire.
