Inspired by Hot Wheels, the number-one selling toy globally*,
Hot Wheels Let’s Race is an action-packed comedy series for kids,
and follows the newest generation of racers: Coop, Spark, Mac,
Brights, Axle, and Sidecar as they attend a racing camp that always
puts the pedal to the metal. Through mind-blowing races, extreme
stunt contests, and thrill-seeking challenges, Hot Wheels Let’s
Race is a show that kids and the whole family can enjoy.
“Between the show’s characters, propulsive cars, and
pulse-pounding music, we want to make audiences feel like they’re
literally gripping the wheel for an unforgettable ride with Hot
Wheels Let’s Race,” said Rob David, Vice President of Content
Creative at Mattel Television Studios and Executive Producer of Hot
Wheels Let’s Race. “Patrick is a one-of-a-kind musical talent, and
generous collaborator. We are so lucky to have him as part of the
Let’s Race family.”
“I spent a lot of my childhood in my grandpa’s garage handing
him tools while he worked on cars and I daydreamed about music,”
said Patrick Stump. “But Hot Wheels was my way of connecting to his
love of cars. That’s why I was so excited to get the opportunity to
work on Hot Wheels Let’s Race with Mattel Television Studios. The
word I’m always using to describe my music for this series is
‘pulse.’ There’s a tempo and a rhythm that permeates the series as
soon as the tires hit that iconic orange track. It’s a real joy to
get to be a part of that and I can’t wait for another generation of
kids to see Hot Wheels Let’s Race on Netflix this year.”
Season 1 of Hot Wheels Let’s Race will be available on Netflix
on March 4. Hot Wheels Let’s Race was developed for television by
Rob David, Vice President, Content Creative at Mattel Television
Studios (Masters of the Universe: Revolution, Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles), Melanie Shannon, Senior Manager, Creative Content at
Mattel Television Studios (He-Man and the Masters of the Universe),
and Jordan Gershowitz (Sharkdog). Rob David, Christopher Keenan
(Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go) and Fred Soulie (Hot Wheels:

Let’s Race are provided by Sprite Animation Studios and OLM
