Netflix and Sega Collaborate on Crazy Taxi Movie, Animated Sonic Series, and More
In another example of how every video game in history will eventually be turned into a movie or TV show, Sega and Netflix have announced a partnership that will see Crazy Taxi, Stranger Than Heaven, and Sonic the Hedgehog turned into films or television adaptations.
-
Crazy Taxi: The classic racing game that was one of the best reasons to buy a Dreamcast will be turned into a feature film written by Dan Gregor and Doug Mand, the duo who penned the 2025 reboot of The Naked Gun. It will be produced by Neal H. Moritz, Toby Ascher, and Toru Nakahara, the producers behind the Sonic franchise.
-
Sonic the Hedgehog Series: An animated series aimed at an upper preschool audience is also in development with Carlos Stevens, who directed the excellent ‘Mason’s Rats’ episode of Love, Death + Robots Volume 3, and Nakahara, head producer at Sega. According to the press release, it’s a "high-voltage, comedic, yet emotionally grounded series built for kids who want to feel a little edge, a little attitude, and a lot of ‘that’s my crew’ wish fulfillment."
-
Stranger Than Heaven: While Yakuza/Like a Dragon developer RGG Studio’s Stranger Than Heaven game isn’t scheduled for release until January 15, 2027, a live-action movie is already planned. Set in early 20th-century Japan, the film follows a foreigner who claws his way from destitute stranger to feared yakuza to entertainment tycoon. Nakahara is also producing this one.
