J.J. Abrams to Executive Produce Live-Action ‘Speed Racer’ Series for AppleTV+

Speed Racer is back, this time around for an all-new live-action series for AppleTV+, executive produced by J.J. Abrams.

“Speed Racer” follows the adventure of auto racer Speed Racer and his souped up car, the Mach 5. His team consists of his father and car builder Pops Racer, his little brother Spritle and his pet chimpanzee Chim-Chim, and Speed’s girlfriend Trixie. Speed also frequently crosses paths with the mysterious Racer X, who is secretly Speed’s older brother Rex Racer.

Ron Fitzgerald and Hiram Martinez will write, executive produce the series alongside Abrams, and serve as co-showrunners.
