Crash Bandicoot Is Getting a Netflix Series
Crash Bandicoot, one of the gaming world’s most beloved mascots, will be appearing on Netflix this time. According to new information, the platform is developing an animated series for the character in partnership with renowned animation studio WildBrain. It’s rumored that the creators of Sonic Prime will also be involved in the project.
Crash Bandicoot Returns with a Netflix and WildBrain Collaboration
According to information shared by What’s On Netflix, Netflix has begun preparations for a Crash Bandicoot series. The studio responsible for the project is WildBrain Studios, which previously developed Sonic Prime. Sonic Prime, which ran for three seasons, received critical acclaim for its story set in alternate universes. Now, the same team will bring Crash’s wild world to life with similar energy.
No official announcement has been made regarding the production process yet. However, it’s estimated that WildBrain will take over the project after Sonic Prime wraps in 2024. If the rumors are true, the Crash Bandicoot series may have been in secret development for over a year.
Netflix has a strong history of video game adaptations. Productions like Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and Arcane have received critical acclaim from both critics and audiences. The Crash Bandicoot series is expected to have a more colorful, humorous, and family-friendly tone than these.
Meanwhile, Netflix is remembered for canceling its previously planned Horizon Zero Dawn series and focusing on theatrical production. While the fate of the Crash Bandicoot series hasn’t yet been confirmed, the very existence of the project has been enough to excite fans.
Crash Bandicoot, which has been a part of the gaming world for nearly 30 years, was previously considered a series adaptation by Amazon, but the project was shelved. It looks like this time, Crash will finally get his own on-screen adventure — and with Netflix’s massive animation team.
