Dreamworks to Produce First Netflix Original Children’s Show

DreamWorks Animation will create the first Netflix original series for kids based on this summer’s animated film Turbo.

The new original series called Turbo: F.A.S.T., short for “Fast Action Stunt Team”, will debut in December in the United States and the 39 other countries where Netflix offers its online subscription service. Turbo: F.A.S.T. will continue the animated exploits of the movie’s snail hero, Turbo ,whose dream is to compete in the Indianapolis 500.

“Netflix boasts one of the largest and fastest-growing audiences in kids’ television,” DreamWorks Animation Chief Executive Jeffrey Katzenberg stated. “They pioneered a new model for TV dramas with ‘House of Cards,’ and now together we’re doing the same thing with kids’ programming.”

Netflix streamed more than 2 billion hours of children’s content last year.  The company has also created a children’s icon interface so young viewers can find episodes of their favorite children’s shows such as “My Little Pony,” “Phineas and Ferb” and “SpongeBob SquarePants” much easier.

Turbo: F.A.S.T. will debut exclusively on Netflix.
