Prime Video is on the starting grid with a docu-series about Formula 1 driver Lando Norris.
Lando (working title) is being billed as a “a never-before-seen look at the current F1 World Champion: a man who is not only defending his crown but also giving unprecedented access to a more personal side of his life, and what matters to him beyond the racetrack.”
The three-part show will launch globally in 2027. Box to Box Films is making the doc series, with Tom Keeling, Warren Smith and Jon Smith the executive producers. Clare Little is series producer and Ben Phethean is series director.
The 26-year-old Norris won the Formula 1 Drivers Championship last year and currently has a record of 13 race wins and 48 podium finishes. The series will explore his life over the course of a summer in the lead-up to his 27th birthday.
He said the doc has been “filming for a while already,” and added, “I already share a lot of what I get up to, but this is going to give people more access than ever before to my life away from racing. I’ve been really involved in the whole thing, so hopefully people will enjoy seeing more of what goes on behind the scenes.”
Norris has posted about the series on social media in the past few minutes, and Prime Video UK & Ireland will talk more about the commission later today at the Edinburgh TV Festival.
