On what date did Disney+ release the first episode of Cars on the Road?

Disney+ released the first episode of Cars on the Road on September 8, 2022.

Cars on the Road is an animated streaming series featuring Lightning McQueen and Mater on a cross-country journey. The series consists of nine episodes, each presenting a different adventure, setting, or animation style within the Cars universe.

Owen Wilson and Larry the Cable Guy returned as the voices of Lightning and Mater. The show was produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released as a Disney+ original series.

Its launch date coincided with Disney+ Day in 2022, which is why the series is sometimes associated with the platform’s broader promotional event rather than treated as a conventional theatrical sequel. Cars on the Road follows Cars 3 but is episodic rather than a feature film.
