A pilot episode was directed by Alejandro Damiani and written and exec produced by Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit.

Lucha libre is known for its aerial maneuvers, colorful costumes and masks that must never come off. This form of wrestling has been popular in Mexico since the 1930s and is shaping up to be the next big trend in kids content. French studio Vivement Lundi is lining up a stop-motion/2D hybrid series inspired by lucha libre. Super-Lucha (52 x 12 minutes) targets kids ages six to 10 and stars four friends who don luchadore wrestling costumes to fight crime. Mexico’s Demente Animation, meanwhile, recently inked a production deal with San Diego-based Masked Republic to launch animated content and interactive games based on luchadores.
