Mater feels the need, the need for speed, in a sneak peek at Disney+‘s upcoming Cars on the Road spinoff series.
SIGN UP FOR DISNEY+ to watch Cars on the Road, She-Hulk, Ms. Marvel, Andor and more!
Premiering on Disney+ Day aka this Thursday, Sept. 8, Cars on the Road follows Lightning McQueen (again voiced by Owen Wilson) and his best friend Mater (Larry the Cable Guy) as they head east from Radiator Springs on a cross-country road trip to meet up with Mater’s sister.
You can sample the series’ opening credits/catchy theme song above, while in the sneak peek below (from Episode 3, titled” Salt Fever”), the famously sluggish Mater gets a super-charged upgrade, which is he all too giddy to try out on the desert flats, racing against his old pal Lightning.
