First-Look: DreamWorks Animation Previews 'Fast & Furious: Spy Racers'

At the Annecy International Animated Film Festival & Market, DreamWorks Animation unveiled its first teaser and title treatment for the highly anticipated Netflix original series Fast & Furious: Spy Racers. The new series expands upon the high-octane action from Universal Pictures’ Fast & Furious feature film franchise.

The all-new animated series follows Tony Toretto — the teenage cousin of Dom — as he follows in his cousin’s footsteps, being recruited, along with his friends, by a government agency to infiltrate an elite racing league serving as a front for a nefarious crime organization bent on world domination.

Tim Hedrick (Voltron Legendary Defender) and Bret Haaland (All Hail King Julien) will serve as executive producers and showrunners. The series is also executive produced by Vin Diesel and Chris Morgan and is slated to debut globally on Netflix later this year.
