– LOS ANGELES – Netflix’s first original children’s series, Turbo Fast, will debut on December 24, the company announced Tuesday.

A spinoff of the DreamWorks' Animation film Turbo, Turbo Fast is billed as a high-octane ensemble comedy that amps everything up to the extreme as Turbo and his adrenaline-fueled crew go on daring new adventures, race on the coolest tracks, and take on the craziest challengers.

The series will be available exclusively in all Netflix territories at 12:01 AM PT on December 24.  Subscribers will be able to stream the first five episodes this holiday season, with additional new episodes premiering throughout the year.

"We are excited to be working with the gifted storytellers at DreamWorks Animation to deliver Turbo Fast, our first original kids series, to families around the world this holiday season," said Ted Sarandos, chief content officer at Netflix, in the news release. "With new episodes on their way in the coming months, kids will have something to look forward to all year."
