    Keanu Reeves is thrilled to be fronting another Formula 1 docuseries - after he bagged an Emmy for a recent show on the motor racing event

    The 60-year-old will be revving up hosting duties for more behind-the-scenes action, with a programme focusing on Cadillac Formula 1 team's journey to the highest class of worldwide racing, after it became Formula 1's 11th team back in March.


    Keanu will be treating motorheads to "an intimate look at the unique challenges of assembling a competitive team on an accelerated timeline", whilst they get "a first-hand account of the vision behind establishing a distinctly American presence in a sport long dominated by European powerhouses".

    The new show comes after Keanu scooped the 2024 International Emmy for Best Sports Documentary gong for his acclaimed Disney+ docuseries Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story, which told how former Brawn GP managing director Ross Brawn, 70, guided his team to victory at the World Championship in 2009, whilst the group was understaffed, underfinanced and independent.

    Keanu told Formula1.com: "I'm very honored and excited to be a part of telling the remarkable Cadillac Formula 1 Team story and its incredible journey into the world of Formula 1 racing.

    "Our goal with the docuseries is to bring audiences into the heart of this journey and showcase what it takes to participate in one of the most exclusive sports arenas in the world."

    The show is set to air before Cadillac makes its debut at the world's most prestigious racing event's Australian Grand Prix in March 2026.

    The F1 team, TWG Motorsports and GM have allowed access to the series to see how the new team was created, and it is hoped the series will spark a "new generation of fans" to F1.

    Dan Towriss, CEO of TWG Motorsports and the Cadillac Formula 1 Team, said: "This is a story of bold ambition and relentless drive. We're honored to work with Keanu, whose passion and knowledge of racing runs deep, and proud to partner with GM on this incredible story.

    "We have an opportunity to welcome a new generation of fans to Formula 1 and Keanu's creativity is the perfect spark to ignite that journey."

    Mark Reuss, GM President, added: "General Motors and TWG Motorsports joined forces on a bold mission - to build a uniquely American Formula 1 team.

    "It's a thrill to have Keanu Reeves document the Cadillac Formula 1 Team's journey to our first season in the FIA Formula One World Championship."

    Keanu's production company KR+SH, will collaborate with North One on the Cadillac docuseries.

    It will be developed by Emmy-winning director and ex ecutive producer Simon Hammerson, as well as BAFTA-winning ex ecutive producer Neil Duncanson.
