## Netflix hits start
Netflix has signed a multititle deal with Sega to adapt several of the publisher's games. It is a slate, not a one-off bet.

> Netflix has hit the start button on multiple adaptations of Sega hit gaming franchises.
## Crazy Taxi goes first
The first project under the deal is a feature film based on Crazy Taxi, Sega's long-running racing game.
## The Naked Gun writers
Dan Gregor and Doug Mand are writing. They wrote the 2025 Naked Gun reboot, which tells you the tone Sega is aiming for.
## The Sonic producers return
Neal H. Moritz and Toby Ascher of Original Film are producing with Sega's Toru Nakahara, the same team behind the Sonic movies.
## Sonic heads to TV
A new Sonic television series is also in the works, extending the franchise that made Sega's film business viable in the first place.
## Stranger Than Heaven too
A film based on Stranger Than Heaven is in development as well, rounding out the first wave of the Netflix and Sega partnership.
## Key takeaway

Sega is no longer a one-hit adaptation story. The Sonic team is now being pointed at the rest of the vault, starting with Crazy Taxi.
