The Fast And Furious Franchise Is Coming To Netflix As An Animated Show
While marvelling at the rather left-field approach to the laws of physics taken in the Fast and Furious films, have you ever thought you might as well be watching an over-the-top cartoon? Well, it may interest you to know that the franchise will be turned into…an over-the-top cartoon.
It’s all thanks to NBCUniversal’s widening deal with Netflix, which has seen numerous shows produced by DreamWorks - a subsidiary of NBCUniversal since 2016 - appear on the streaming service. The latest one will give us a new animated take on the Fast and Furious world, focusing on Dominic Toretto’s teenage cousin Tony. FYI that’s not the one whose car goes faster while on fire and in reverse - that’s Fernando.
The new series will follow Tony as he attempts to infiltrate a shady “elite racing league” at the behest of a secretive government agency. It’s just a rogue submarine or 20-mile runway away from having the perfect F&F plot.
Vin Diesel, Neal Moritz and Chris Morgan will serve as executive producers for the show, which is set for a 2019 debut. The only thing that’s bugging us is the image released with the announcement - it shows two GTA-style knock-off vehicles, suggesting the show may not bother with licensing real cars. Then again, this is just an early teaser image, so the series could end up looking rather different.
Either way, we’ll definitely be watching.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

They made this animated version because there are stunts that they can’t perform in real life
