Fast & Furious Animated Series Racing To Netflix

Who’s ready for some BRRRM BRRRM rrrrrrrraaaaacccee scenes in animated form? The high octane Fast & Furious franchise is heading to Netflix as an animated series in partnership with DreamWorks animation. You read that right. Not an animated movie. An animated series. No word on how many seasons there will be but previous DreamWorks series have had multiple season commitments so it’s probable we’ll be seeing more than one year of race scenes. Below is a description of the new series.

In the series, teenager Tony Toretto follows in the footsteps of his cousin Dom when he and his friends are recruited by a government agency to infiltrate an elite racing league serving as a front for a nefarious crime organization bent on world domination.

That… is amazing. World domination? Flawless. Could this be in the same canon as the movies? Only time well tell but we hope so. Come on, the timeline of this movie series is NUTS. Why not slot in an animated series? Get Vin Diesel to cameo! Get Roman to say, “this is crazy!” but in ANIMATION.

Buried in all the news about this is that Tim Hedrick is an executive producer and showrunner of the series. For those not in the know, Hedrick was the head writer of Voltron Legendary Defender’s first few seasons and his work helped that show become the smash hit it is today. Knowing what he was able to do with the world of Voltron we can’t wait to see how he and everyone else working on this series plays in the universe of Fast & Furious. We should also note former Voltron writer Mitch Iverson is also writing on this series!

But seriously, how many times will they say “family” per episode? The world needs to know! Maybe they’ll cause the time paradox that results in Sean Boswell aging ten years between Tokyo Drift and Furious 7.
