10 films and a spinoff is just NOT ENOUGH! WE DEMAND MORE! Well, your pleas have been answered, in the form of an animated “Fast and Furious” series coming to Netflix via Dreamworks Animation.
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.
“We are excited to extend and expand our successful relationship with Netflix by not only delivering more high-quality DreamWorks programming, but connecting fans of Universal films with fascinating new stories,” said Margie Cohn, president of DreamWorks Animation Television. “Our new home at Universal marks an exciting new chapter for storytelling at our studio, and Fast & Furious is only the beginning.”
“We are thrilled to take our fantastic partnership with DreamWorks Animation to the next level with new opportunities from the vast library of Universal Pictures,” said Melissa Cobb, vice president of kids and family for Netflix. “The ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise is a global phenomenon beloved by audiences of all ages, and we can’t wait to get started on the new animated series that will capture the action, heart, humor and global appeal of the feature films.”
“Fast and Furious 9” is due to hit cinemas in 2020, with the 10th instalment not too far behind in 2021, and the spinoff “Hobbs and Shaw” starring Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham due out next year.
