Summary
- Netflix is developing film and series adaptations of Sega games.
- Crazy Taxi and Stranger Than Heaven films are planned.
- A new animated Sonic children's series is also in development.
Netflix is expanding its video game adaptation catalog with a new slate of projects from Sega. The streamer is developing film adaptations for the popular arcade game "Crazy Taxi" and the RGG Studio title "Stranger Than Heaven." Screenwriters Dan Gregor and Doug Mand are penning the "Crazy Taxi" film, which is set to feature producers from the "Sonic" franchise.
Additionally, Netflix is creating a new animated "Sonic" series aimed at an upper pre-school audience. This high-voltage, comedic series aims for a "feel a little edge, a little attitude" tone. The development follows the success of the animated series "Sonic Prime," which concluded its run after three seasons.
"Stranger Than Heaven," developed by RGG Studio, is a live-action feature that will explore the story of a foreigner's rise in early 20th-century Japan. Producers for this film include Toru Nakahara. This collaboration underscores Netflix's commitment to adapting beloved game titles.
