MANILA, PHILIPPINES — Disney+ has revealed the release date for the new Disney+ Original unscripted documentary series Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story, a remarkable tale of success against adversity for the £1 Formula 1 racing team. The series will premiere on Disney+ on November 15.
The series stars Keanu Reeves (John Wick and The Matrix Resurrections) as host and executive producer, in addition to Formula 1 legends Ross Brawn, Jenson Button, Nick Fry, Rubens Barrichello, and Christian Horner. The unscripted documentary series tells the remarkable story of how Ross, in 2009, competing in the most expensive and technologically advanced racing series on Earth, made the impossible happen. His understaffed, underfinanced, and independent team won the World Championship taking on the biggest titans of the industry, all after purchasing the team for just GBP 1.
Go behind the scenes of this Formula 1 fairytale with the people who were there – on the track, in the garage, and in the boardroom – giving their own recounts of this miraculous year. With access to the F1 archives, much of it previously unseen, this series brings you along for the ride to victory, led by British F1 driver Jenson and Ross.
This series is a North One production, developed, written, and produced by showrunner Simon Hammerson with three-time BAFTA-winning executive producer Neil Duncanson and directed by 2022 Broadcast Best Sports Documentary winner Daryl Goodrich.
All episodes of Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story will be available on Disney+ on November 15.
