Probably a younger version of Fast and Furious franchise, the last episode of highly rated Chinese TV drama Speed ended on Dragon TV and the streaming sites Tencent Video and iQiyi on Nov 15.

The 36-episode Speed is headlined by racer-actor Han Dongjun and actress Xu Lu, who shot to prominence after 2016 hit comedy Our Shinning Days.

Mainly set in Australia, the drama follows a young US-born Chinese man who travels to Australia to pursue his dream of becoming a top racer.

Jointly produced by the Shanghai-based production company Wit & Key and Xiamen-based Migu Animation, the series also casts emerging stars Ding Ye, Du Haihao and Dong Chunhui.

Han Hao, general manager of Wit & Key, said China has rarely made productions centering on the racing theme, which costs a lot on purchasing expensive cars.

With a budget of over 100 million yuan ($14.4 million), the drama used more than 50 racing sports cars to shoot a lot of action sequences.

Bruce Law, a renowned stunt choreographer known for Jackie Chan’s action blockbusters, acts as the action consultant of the drama, who in-person guided some death-defying sequences featuring explosion or a car being crashed to fall off a cliff.
