The Oscar-nominated film Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002) introduced the world to a resilient mustang named Spirit, and now it’s inspired a brand new story and setting for Spirit Riding Free, a Netflix original series from DreamWorks Animation Television, debuting exclusively there on May 5th.

Spirit Riding Free follows the heartfelt journey of a gutsy 12-year-old girl named Lucky who befriends a wild mustang whom she aptly names Spirit. With her two best friends (and their horses) by her side, Lucky and her friends push their own limits, “harness the power of friendship and discover what it truly means to be free”. The trailer dropped today – and here it is:

OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS: When city-turned-country girl Lucky meets a wild mustang named Spirit, she feels an instant connection to the untamable horse.

The trio embark on thrilling adventures, find genuine friendship, and discover what it means to be free!
