Expect a bright, slapstick tone that leans into classic Crash chaos, with Cortex likely in the villain seat and a deep bench of side characters. We talk why Netflix is a strong home for game adaptations, how this compares to earlier attempts, and what details still need to be announced like casting and a showrunner.
