When did Pixar’s Cars on the Road premiere on Disney+?

Pixar’s Cars on the Road premiered on Disney+ on September 8, 2022.

The animated series follows Lightning McQueen and Mater as they travel across the United States to attend the wedding of Mater’s sister, Mato. The journey is told through nine short episodes, each using a different genre or adventure premise, including racing, horror parody, prehistoric comedy, and monster-movie elements.

Owen Wilson and Larry the Cable Guy reprise their English-language roles as Lightning McQueen and Mater. The series expands the Cars world beyond Radiator Springs while retaining the friendship at the center of the feature films.

Cars on the Road was released as a Disney+ original series rather than as a theatrical feature. Its launch date is distinct from Disney+ Day events connected with other Pixar projects, and it is also separate from the release dates of Cars 3 and earlier Cars short-film collections.
