Reeves to front Cadillac F1 documentary series
Keanu Reeves will host a new multi-part documentary series following the Cadillac Formula 1 team’s journey to the grid in 2026.
The filmmaker and actor recently produced a documentary telling the remarkable story of Brawn GP – Ross Brawn’s eponymous team that was borne out of the withdrawal of the Honda works team and duly won both championships in 2009 – and will now turn his attentions to the newest team on the grid.
In partnership with North One, the unscripted series will explore behind-the-scenes of Cadillac’s journey as the team is built from scratch as a new constructor.

"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,” Reeves said. “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 project will receive exclusive access from Cadillac, TWG Motorsports and General Motors (GM), to document how it goes about establishing a competitive team with an American foundation to compete in F1.
“This is a story of bold ambition and relentless drive,” Dan Towriss, CEO of TWG Motorsports and the Cadillac F1 team, said. “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.’’
The producers say the series will air prior to Cadillac’s first race in F1, with the 2026 season kicking off on March 8 in Melbourne, Australia.
“General Motors and TWG Motorsports joined forces on a bold mission – to build a uniquely American Formula 1 team,” added GM president Mark Reuss. “It’s a thrill to have Keanu Reeves document the Cadillac Formula 1 team’s journey to our first season in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship.”
