[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.

[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.

Turbo continues his racing adventures with the help of his brother Chet, and his friends Whiplash, Burn, Skidmark, White Shadow, and Smoove Move.

Turbo Fast is the first project coming out of the five-year deal between DreamWorks Animation and Netflix, which includes 300 hours of original programming or over a thousand episodes a year.

Being impressed with racing visuals which Titmouse, Inc. created for the Disney XD series Motorcity, DreamWorks Animation contracted the studio to make the special flash-animated.

[7] Soon after the Titmouse's founder Chris Prynoski signed on as the director, DreamWorks decided to turn the special into a series.

[7] Titmouse's director Antoni Canobbio developed a look that felt new and cool, to suit the project's racing theme.

[15] Beside Flash, which is the main program for animating the series, many additional tools have been used, including Maya, Photoshop and After Effects.

"[7] Beside Ken Jeong and Michael Patrick Bell, who reprise their roles of Kim Ly and White Shadow, the cast features all new members.

[7] Reid Scott, who replaced Ryan Reynolds as the voice of Turbo, knew Prynoski from 2000 or 2001, when they worked together on a Flash Frame pilot for AMC.

[44] After that, they lost contact, but they met again ten years later, when Scott successfully auditioned for Disney XD's Motorcity, which Prynoski created and directed.

[44] They enjoyed working together, and when Motorcity got canceled, Prynoski offered him the role in recently contracted Turbo series.
