The "Fast & Furious" franchise will stay in the Diesel family as Vin Diesel's eldest daughter has been slated for a starring role in an animated version coming to Netflix. According to Entertainment Weekly, Similce Diesel will appear in Universal Pictures and DreamWorks Animation’s "Fast & Furious: Spy Racers."

"Teen Wolf" star Tyler Posey is headlining the cast as Tony, the cousin of Vin's famed character, Dominic Toretto.

According to EW:

"Spy Racers follows the adventures of teenager Tony, who follows in his cousin’s footsteps when a government agency recruits he and his friends to infiltrate an elite racing league that is a front for a crime organization bent on world domination."

Hania "Similce" Riley Sinclair was born in 2008 to Vin Diesel and his wife, Paloma Jiménez. She's obviously extremely close with her parents and has grown up watching her daddy on the sets of "Fast & Furious." Back in April, the star posted about his daughter's 11th birthday.

"The Alpha Angel turns eleven today... Proudest father in the world. All love, always!" he wrote alongside a cute photo of the two.

In "Spy Racers," Similce will voice the character of Sissy, the little sister to 13-year-old tech genius Frostee Benson.

Not only was Similce close to Paul Walker while she was growing up, but she has formed a close friendship with his daughter, Meadow Walker. "With my angel," Meadow wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of her and Similce.

On Meadow's 21st birthday earlier this month, Vin Diesel paid tribute to the daughter of his late best friend with an emotional social media post.

"I could say that I am so proud of the person you are becoming... but the truth is I have always been proud of you. Happy Birthday Meadow! I know it’s your 21st and you wanted to go big in Japan, but the family has a cake waiting for you when you get home, so hurry. Love you kid. Uncle Vin."

Diesel is also father to 9-year-old Vincent Sinclair and 4-year-old Pauline who’s named after Walker.
