Netflix continues to expand its catalog of video game adaptations, and this time it’s Crash Bandicoot‘s turn. The iconic character from the 90s, born on the first PlayStation, will have an official animated series produced by WildBrain Studios, the same studio behind Sonic Prime and Carmen Sandiego.

The production is currently in development and promises to recover the classic essence of the character with a modern visual style. According to What’s on Netflix, the project has been gestating discreetly for several months and marks the first time Crash will headline his own animated show, after his brief appearance in Skylanders Academy.

Netflix bets on Crash Bandicoot as its new animated hero

Created by Naughty Dog in 1996, Crash Bandicoot became a symbol of the PlayStation catalog and one of the greatest references in the platformer genre. Its mix of action, humor, and colorful design defined an entire era, and after several stages under different publishers, the saga resurfaced in 2017 with Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and later with Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time.

Now, with Activision (currently part of Microsoft) as the owner of the brand, the franchise is taking the leap to animation again. WildBrain Studios, with experience in high-quality productions like Sonic Prime or The Snoopy Show, will be in charge of bringing the Crash universe to life with an approach aimed at both nostalgic and new generations.

For now, Netflix has not revealed the cast, synopsis, or release date, although everything points to the project seeking to repeat the success of recent adaptations like Arcane or Castlevania. What is clear is that the most chaotic marsupial in video games is about to return… and this time, not to break boxes, but to conquer television.
