The series “follows Lightning McQueen as he gears up for all-new adventures in Radiator Springs alongside his hilarious best friend Mater and new friends thrill-seeking drag car Pipes and mud-loving monster truck Miles.” Expect it to debut on Disney Jr. and later on Disney+ in 2027.
Other new shows announced for Disney Jr. include Marvel’s Avengers: Mightiest Friends, the first-ever preschool Avengers series, and two new seasons of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+.
