What is the name of Pixar's Cars television series that premiered on Disney+ in 2022?

The story behind the answer

Cars on the Road is Pixar's Cars television series that premiered on Disney+ in 2022.

The animated series follows Lightning McQueen and Mater as they travel across the United States to attend Mater's sister's wedding. Each episode presents a different adventure, often shifting between comedy, fantasy, and genre parodies while retaining the characters and world established by the feature films.

Cars on the Road consists of nine short episodes and was produced for Disney+. The series was created by Steve Purcell, who also worked on earlier Pixar projects and directed several episodes. Owen Wilson and Larry the Cable Guy returned as the voices of Lightning McQueen and Mater.

The show is distinct from earlier Cars television shorts such as Mater's Tall Tales and Cars Toons: Tales from Radiator Springs. It is also not a theatrical sequel. Its episodic structure allowed Pixar to explore locations and situations that would have been difficult to sustain in a single feature film.
