Turbo Fast is an American animated television series based on the 2013 animated film Turbo. Produced by DreamWorks Animation Television and animated by Titmouse, it was released exclusively on Netflix in the United States and in the 40 countries where Netflix offers its services at the time,[5] but it became available worldwide via Netflix over time. It is the first Netflix original series for children, and the first DreamWorks Animation series produced for Netflix.[5]

The first five episodes of the first 26-episode season were released on December 24, 2013,[6] with subsequent batches of five to six episodes following around holidays throughout 2014.[6][7] Each episode consists of two 11-minutes segments, except for few double-length episodes.[8] Season 2 was released on Netflix on July 31, 2015.[9] The third and final season was released on Netflix on February 5, 2016.[10][11]

Set five months after the events of the film,[12] the series follows Turbo and his crew to Starlight City,[13] where they master new stunts and compete with villains.[5] It is being animation directed by Mike Roush,[14] casting and voice directed by Andrea Romano,[7] art directed by Antonio Canobbio,[15] produced by Ben Kalina, Shannon Barrett Prynoski and Jennifer Ray,[4] and executive produced by Chris Prynoski and Jack Thomas.[4][16] Beside Ken Jeong and Michael Patrick Bell, who reprise their roles of Kim-Ly and White Shadow from the film, the series features an all-new cast. It consists of Reid Scott as Turbo, John Eric Bentley as Whiplash, Grey DeLisle-Griffin as Burn, Phil LaMarr as Smoove Move, Amir Talai as Skidmark and Tito, and Eric Bauza as Chet and Guy Gagné.

In April 2023, the series was removed from the streaming service along with The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show.[17][18]
