Netflix is developing a Crazy Taxi movie and an edgy Sonic animated series alongside a live-action adaptation of Yakuza developer RGG Studio's Stranger Than Heaven.
The streaming giant announced three new Sega game adaptations as part of its expanding gaming IP portfolio.
The Crazy Taxi film will be Netflix's first release from this slate, though no premiere date has been set. The movie marks the first major screen adaptation of the arcade-style driving game.
Netflix is also producing an untitled Sonic animated series designed for viewers seeking "a little edge"—positioning it as content for kids who want something with more attitude than typical children's programming. This follows Netflix's existing Sonic Prime, which has already completed three seasons.
A live-action film based on Stranger Than Heaven, developed by Yakuza's RGG Studio, rounds out the announcement. The project represents Netflix's strategy of converting established gaming franchises into television and film content.
These adaptations join Netflix's broader push into gaming entertainment, following the success of titles like The Witcher and Castlevania.
