The storyline of the series is not clear, but it will clearly take place after Cars 3, since characters like Cruz Ramirez and Cam Spinner are set to appear.

No director or production team for the series has been confirmed at this time. However, if we take a look at the films, John Lasseter directed Cars and Cars 2, while Brian Fee made his directorial debut for Cars 3.
