The last "Amazing Squad" series of movies was released in 2017, and since then, the series has not launched new works. Recently, Netflix is making another attempt to create a rebooted movie universe of TV shows and movies.
In an interview with Deadline, Michael Lombardo, head of global television business at Entertainment One (Parent Company of Hasbro), said: "Ever since we worked with Jonathan Entwesser on the Amazing Race movie, we've started a global model where it's not just a show — it's a movie after the show, some children's shows. We found a great writing partner for him – they were gone. God forbid, Netflix is excited, we're excited, and we hope to hear from you soon. ”
"The Amazing Race" has been in theaters for nearly 30 years, and it is remade from the Japanese special series "Super Team" series. In order to match the original Japanese storyline, it often uses the same action scenes and is accompanied by English dubbing. In these thirty years of collaboration, we have seen a total of 28 seasons of TV, 21 different themes, and 3 movies. It's unclear whether Netflix will continue to use this broad classic or start over to attract new audiences, but if it does, there's a lot of history to learn from.
From 2017 to the present, comic book series such as Shattered Grid and Mighty Morphin have been serialized. All of this gives the series a more mature tone while maintaining the original division. In some ways, they have become more family-friendly, not just for children.
Everyone is speculating about the future direction of Netflix, and Hasbro bought the rights to The Amazing Race for $500 million in 2018, so there's no doubt the company wants to succeed in this costly acquisition. Games, TV, movies and comics will all be implemented.
