Rev the engines! Keanu Reeves is looking to challenge Brad Pitt for the pole position.

The Formula One Movie with Brad Pitt had a triumphant debut, marking Apple Original Films’ first significant cinematic victory during its opening weekend. Now, action hero and auto racing aficionado Keanu Reeves has announced a documentary series in collaboration with North One, a division of RedBird IMI’s All3Media production powerhouse. This series will offer an exclusive look at the Cadillac Formula 1 Team as they strive to create a racing team from scratch, catering to the increasing appetite for speed among American viewers.

With unique behind-the-scenes access to the Cadillac F1 Team, co-owned by TWG Motorsports and General Motors, led by Mark Walter and Thomas Tull, this series follows the development of a fresh, American team as they ready themselves for their first race at the 2026 FIA Formula 1 World Championship season opener in Melbourne. Producers revealed this on Wednesday. Reeves is rejoining the production team from North One, along with his own KR+SH production company, to host and produce this new series. This comes just a few months after he was awarded an International Emmy for his exceptional work on the Disney+ docuseries Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story.

The docuseries, created by Emmy-winning director Simon Hammerson and three-time BAFTA-winning producer Neil Duncanson, aims to provide an up-close view of the high-stakes world of Formula 1 racing. The team behind it promises to offer viewers a front-row seat to all the action, as they follow the remarkable journey of the Cadillac Formula 1 Team into the world of Formula 1 racing. Keanu Reeves, who is part of the project, expressed his excitement about being involved in telling this incredible story. The docuseries aims to give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges of building a competitive team on a tight deadline and the vision behind establishing an American presence in a sport that has traditionally been dominated by European powerhouses. By documenting the struggles, setbacks, determination, and ambition required to build a new contender in Formula 1, the series aims to captivate both motorsport enthusiasts and viewers who appreciate stories of resilience, cultural aspiration, and the pursuit of lofty goals. The docuseries will also explore the journey to create the first American-based team amidst the backdrop of Formula 1’s growing popularity in the United States and around the world. The new team is excited to give viewers a glimpse of what it takes to compete at the highest level of motorsports, and they believe that Keanu Reeves’ creativity will be the perfect catalyst to attract a new generation of fans to Formula 1 racing.

KR&SH Productions, a company specializing in documentaries, was established by Reeves and Hammerson. They are the ones who brought to life the captivating tale titled “Brawn: The Unbelievable Story of Formula 1“.
