Streaming platform Netflix announced that it has renewed ‘Formula 1: Drive to Survive’ for two more seasons.
The reality series, which offers “unprecedented access” into the world of F1 racing, recently concluded its fourth season.
The series has grown in popularity over time, Netflix said, with the fourth season attracting the biggest audience to date and breaking into the weekly Top 10 in 56 countries.
Drive to Survive puts audiences right in the thick of things, as the world’s best drivers compete for the F1 World Championship and their crews duke it out for the Constructor’s Championships. But what has captured the imagination of fans is the behind-the-scenes drama that the series weaves into the narrative.
Across episodes and entire seasons, boardroom tensions, pit-lane problems, and driver rivalries represent both the best and worst tendencies of reality TV.
‘Formula 1: Drive to Survive’ is executive-produced by Academy-Award winner James Gay-Rees (Amy, Senna) and Paul Martin (Diego Maradona) for Box to Box Films.
The fifth season is currently in production, in conjunction with the ongoing season of the F1 championships.
