The last live-action adaptation of Speed Racer from a Western production studio was 14 years ago. Variety reports that Apple and Warner Bros. Television Studios are teaming up to produce a new Speed Racer.

The new Apple TV Plus series will tell the story of Speed, a young race car driver living in the shadow of his father. While the new Speed Racer has been in development for some time, there are currently no details about who the cast will be, when the series might debut, or how closely it will cleave to the source material.
