Speed Racer: Next Generation marks the return of one of the most successful anime franchises in history. Originally started in Japan as manga in the 1960s, Mach Go Go Go made the jump on TV as an anime series in 1967. The series gained massive following among real-life car drivers and its pivotal episode in which Racer X reveals his identity to Speed was selected by TV Guide as one of the most memorable moments in TV History. After 40 years of television hiatus, Speed Racer is making its biggest television comeback with all new exciting and unforgettable episodes that will blaze the open road for the penultimate race adventure.

Speed Racer: Next Generation will incorporate elements of the original series while utilizing CG animation and more accurately synched voice over. In the new series, a young Speed enters an elite racing academy. Once there, he discovers that he’s the son of the original and legendary Speed Racer-and that he also has a brother, the new Racer X. The siblings will work together to stop the thieves from stealing the Mach 6 (an update of the original Mach 5 speedster) and to solve the disappearance of their father. Get back into the action and race your way to the highly anticipated adventure series on TV.
