The right to ride is up for grabs in Disney XD’s newest animated action series Motorcity, when it bows on Saturday, May 26 at 6:30 p.m. ET as part of the Drift, Draft and Drive Marathon.
In the turbo-charged animated series Motorcity, it’s up to The Burners, a group of rebels led by 17-year-old Mike Chilton, to stop evil billionaire Abraham Kane from taking over their last oasis of freedom – a subterranean refuge called Motorcity.
The premiere episode “Battle for Motorcity,” airing Saturday, May 26 at 6:30 p.m. ET, sees wicked Abraham Kane devising an attack on Motorcity prompting Mike and The Burners to go head-to-head with him in his own territory, Detroit Deluxe. When they unexpectedly fall into Kane’s latest technological trap, The Burners must find a way to escape before it’s too late. Following the premiere, new episodes of the series continue to air in its regular timeslot on Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. ET.
The series premiere speeds onto Disney XD as part of a Drift, Draft and Drive Marathon featuring episodes dedicated to cars and racing. The line-up, which airs from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET, includes episodes from hit series including Kick Buttowski – Suburban Daredevil, Phineas and Ferb and Fish Hooks. All episodes featured will be available on Disney XD OnDemand beginning May 29.
