Crash Bandicoot Heads to Netflix: What We Know and Why Fans Should Be Excited

Crash Bandicoot is getting an animated series at Netflix with WildBrain partnering on production. Expect a bright, slapstick tone that leans into classic Crash chaos, with Cortex likely in the villain seat and a deep bench of side characters. We talk why Netflix is a strong home for game adaptations, how this compares to earlier attempts, and what details still need to be announced like casting and a showrunner. This is a nostalgia win for longtime players and an easy on-ramp for kids who are meeting Crash for the first time.

00:45 What we are watching next: casting and showrunner news

  • Netflix is developing a Crash Bandicoot animated series with WildBrain, aiming for high-energy slapstick and bold visuals.

  • The show targets a wide audience, pairing kid-friendly fun with nostalgia for fans who grew up with the games.

  • A prior version was explored elsewhere but did not move forward, which makes Netflix’s infrastructure and history with game adaptations a promising sign.

  • Big open questions remain, including voice cast, showrunner, and release timing.

  • If Netflix taps into Cortex, Crash, and the extended roster of allies and foes, the series has room for episodic humor and fan-service deep cuts.

  • “Crash Bandicoot is coming to Netflix… it should be silly slapstick, very colorful.”

  • “Kids are going to dig it and the parents are going to be like, oh yeah, I played that game.”

  • “We’ve seen Netflix take video game properties and turn them into really successful animations.”

  • “The next thing we’re looking for is casting and who’s going to be the showrunner.”

  • “I’m always down for nostalgia.”

JAME GUNN ON TWITTER“Among those on the slate is Superman. In the initial stages, our story will be focusing on an earlier part of Superman’s life, so the character will not be played by Henry Cavill. But we just had a great meeting with Henry and we’re big fans and we talked about a number of exciting possibilities to work together in the future.” The news may be surprising to fans who expected Cavill to return as the hero, but insiders say that Cavill’s recent Instagram announcement was approved by Warner Bros brass before Gunn and Safran were hired, leading to a change in plans.
