Which Pixar Cars series premiered on Disney+ in 2022 and follows Lightning McQueen and Mater?
Answer
Cars on the Road
Cars on the Road is the Pixar Cars series that premiered on Disney+ in 2022 and follows Lightning McQueen and Mater.
The animated series debuted on September 8, 2022, with nine episodes. McQueen and Mater travel across the United States to attend Mater’s sister’s wedding, encountering unusual locations, vehicles, and adventures along the way.
Cars on the Road was created by Steve Purcell, who also directed episodes with Brian Fee and Bobby Podesta. Owen Wilson and Larry the Cable Guy reprise their English-language voice roles as McQueen and Mater, preserving the central friendship from the feature films.
The series is distinct from Mater’s Tall Tales, a collection of Cars short films that began in 2008. It is also separate from Cars Toons as a title, although both belong to the wider Pixar Cars short-form universe.
