The live-action television series based on the popular car chase/vehicle combat video franchise from PSone has drawn a lot of big names attached to it, including Anthony Mackie. According to a press release from Peacock, Neve Campbell will be a recurring guest star. Campbell has appeared in multiple franchise installments since they began, most recently as Sidney Prescot, a character that she first played in the original 1996 Scream.

Kitao Saurai will be an executive producer who is on deck to direct multiple episodes, and Michael Jonathan Smith will be an executive producer who is on deck to act as a writer. The production team wanted a bigger budget than the studio wanted to give them, so they dropped the project.

The series is going to be a half-hour action-comedy that will follow the character of John Doe, who talks as fast as he drives, as he attempts to drive across a post- apocalyptic wasteland. Beatriz will play Quiet, a Trigger-happy car thief. The two will face off against scavengers, clowns, and the dangers of the open road. Agent Stone is a highway patrolman who takes the law into his own hands.
