Crash Bandicoot Animated Series Reportedly in Development at Netflix: WildBrain Studios Rumored as Production Partner Crash Bandicoot, the legendary video game mascot originally introduced by Naughty Dog in 1996, may soon be spinning onto a new platform.

According to a report from What’s On Netflix, sources indicate that an animated Crash Bandicoot series is currently in early development at Netflix.

The adaptation is rumored to be produced in partnership with WildBrain Studios, a leading animation studio recognized for its recent work on Sonic Prime, Netflix's critically acclaimed animated series starring another iconic 90s gaming character, Sonic the Hedgehog. WildBrain Studios has forged a reputation for high-quality animated content based on video game franchises, with Sonic Prime garnering both strong viewership and praise for its faithful adaptation of the beloved Sega IP.

The streaming platform has a growing history of bringing video game franchises to life, with recent examples such as The Cuphead Show! and Castlevania expanding the reach of their respective properties through animated storytelling.

The potential addition of Crash Bandicoot further underscores Netflix’s commitment to courting gaming fans and tapping into the enduring popularity of classic franchises. The enduring appeal of Crash Bandicoot is evident, with recent titles like Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time performing well across platforms including PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

The game's global sales and multi-platform presence demonstrate that the franchise remains a staple in the gaming industry more than 25 years since its initial debut. For now, no details regarding a release window, creative direction, or voice cast for the rumored Crash Bandicoot series have been confirmed.

Fans and industry watchers are advised to await official announcements from Netflix or WildBrain Studios.
