Next year will mark the 30th anniversary of the original Crash Bandicoot, yet this anthropomorphic critter hasn’t had any TV shows or film adaptations of his own in the last three decades. However, a new report suggests that Crash Bandicoot may finally get a television series at Netflix.
According to What’s on Netflix, a Crash Bandicoot animated series is in development from WildBrain Studios,. The report doesn’t mention any members of the creative team behind the show, but WildBrain does have history in the video game genre. It was the studio behind Sonic Prime and Carmen Sandiego. Some of the studio’s other credits include Johnny Test, Go Dog Go, The Snoopy Show, Fireman Sam, and Polly Pocket.
Netflix currently has a number of video game-related shows on the streamer, including Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, two iterations of Castlevania, Devil May Cry, and the recently premiered Splinter Cell: Deathwatch. Netflix is also developing Assassin’s Creed as a live-action series.
The original Crash Bandicoot game was developed by Naughty Dog and released on PlayStation 1. Over the years, the rights to Crash Bandicoot were transferred to Universal Interactive and they currently reside at Activision. The most recent game in the series was Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, which was published in 2020. Last year, a Toys for Bob concept artist said that Crash Bandicoot 5 was canceled during development.
Earlier this year, former Sony executive–and Sega of America’s current CEO–Shuji Utsumi revealed that Hollywood turned down the publisher’s pitch for a Crash Bandicoot movie. Naughty Dog boss Neil Druckmann has thrown his support behind a Crash Bandicoot movie, but he also noted that it’s Microsoft’s call now, since the video game giant purchased Activision.
