The Casagrandes Movie may have wrapped production!
Earlier this year, Nickelodeon revealed that The Casagrandes Movie, a brand new film based on The Casagrandes was in the works. Although not much else about the movie has been said since the original announcement, Miguel Puga, a co-executive and director on Nickelodeon's hit animated series, has hinted that production on The Casagrandes Movie has wrapped!
On his official X/Twitter page, Puga shared a behind-the-scenes photo of a Nickelodeon Movies logo on a big screen, along with the caption "…and that’s a WRAP!":

Whilst Puga doesn't actually state that he's talking about The Casagrandes Movie in his post, it's widely believed that he is referring to the upcoming film.
At the moment, little is known about the Casagrandes film, including whether it's being made to air on Nickelodeon, to release on a streaming service like Paramount+ or Netflix, or to be released in theaters.
According to a press release released earlier this year, in addition to Puga, Tony Gama-Lobo (Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Santiago of the Seas) and Rebecca May (Rise of the TMNT), who wrote the recently released A Really Haunted Loud House live-action movie, are also attached to the film.
The Casagrandes movie will follow The Loud House Movie, a made-for-TV film produced by Nickelodeon for Netflix, which was released in August 2021.
A spin-off from The Loud House, The Casagrandes follows the dynamics of a multi-generational Latino family that lives under one roof. The series centers on Ronnie Anne Santiago (Izabella Alvarez), who moved to Great Lakes City with her brother Bobby (Carlos PenaVega) and her mother Maria (Sumalee Montano). She is now living near her extended family, including her grandparents Hector (Ruben Garfias) and Rosa (Sonia Manzano), her aunt Frida (Roxana Ortega) and uncle Carlos (Carlos Alazraqui), and her cousins Carlota, C.J., Carl, and Carlitos. Rubiner is executive producer and Puga serves as co-executive producer. Award-winning cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz is a consulting producer.
The Casagrandes debuted in 2019, and aired for a total of 60 episodes over three seasons, as well a raft of animated shorts as part of Nick's Shorts Showcase by the end of its run in September 2022. Although the series isn't being renewed for a fourth season, characters from The Casagrandes will continue to appear on The Loud House, the show it was spun-off from.
The Casagrandes stars Izabella Alvarez (Westworld) as 11-year-old Ronnie Annie, Carlos PenaVega (Big Time Rush) as her brother Bobby and Sumalee Montano (Nashville) as her mom Maria. Alvarez, PenaVega and Montano bring these characters to life, alongside: Carlos Alazraqui (Rocko's Modern Life, The Fairly OddParents, Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years) as Carlos, “Tio;” Roxana Ortega (The League) as Frida, “Tia;” Alexa PenaVega (Spy Kids) as Carlota; Jared Kozak (Born this Way) as CJ; Alex Cazares (The Boss Baby: Back in Business) as Carl; Ruben Garfias (East Los High) as Hector, “Abuelo;” and Sonia Manzano (Sesame Street) as Rosa, “Abuela.” Additionally, Eugenio Derbez (Dora and the Lost City of Gold) gives voice to Dr. Santiago, a physician living and working in Peru, who is Ronnie Anne and Bobby’s father.
Ronnie Anne’s new apartment building holds new friends and neighbors, including: Ken Jeong (Dr. Ken) as Stanley Chang; Melissa Joan Hart (Clarissa Explains It All, Sabrina the Teenage Witch) as Becca Chang; Leah Mei Gold (Legion) as 12-year-old Sid Chang, Ronnie Anne’s new friend; and Lexi Sexton as Adelaide Chang, Sid’s 6-year-old little sister.
The show was nominated for Outstanding Children's Animated Series and won Outstanding Main Title for an Animated Program at the 2020 Daytime Emmy Awards. Ronnie Anne and her family were introduced in The Loud House. Both series have been translated into successful graphic novel and podcast series. The Loud House and The Casagrandes are available to stream on Paramount+.
