'Fast & Furious' will be getting an animated Netflix series

Buckle your seatbelt, baby, because Fast & Furious is becoming a cartoon.

The Fast & Furious franchise is being turned into an animated series, Netflix announced on Monday, as a part of Netflix's deal with DreamWorks Animation. The new series focuses on the younger cousin of Dom (Vin Diesel) from the movie franchise and is aimed at a younger demographic.

Netflix did not announce a specific release date for the new animated series, but they did provide some insight on what the show will be about:

"Teenager Tony Toretto follows in the footsteps of his cousin Dom when he and his friends are recruited by a government agency to infiltrate an elite racing league serving as a front for a nefarious crime organization bent on world domination," Netflix said in a release.

It sounds like instead of following the main characters from any of the eight feature films, the Fast & Furious animated series will be a spin-off, but that doesn't rule out any cameos from characters the world has grown to love over the years.

The animated series will be run by Tim Hedrick and Bret Haaland, and produced by Fast & Furious film producers Vin Diesel, Neal Moritz, and Chris Morgan.

The deal between Netflix and DreamWorks Animation has been going on for five years and has produced 14 different series, including Trollhunters and All Hail King Julien.

There are already two Fast & Furious live action movies expected to release in the future, which will serve as the ninth and 10th chapters of the series that's been going strong since 2001.
