A bold new chapter is set to be written in the world of Formula 1®, and it’s coming to screens with a cinematic twist.
Acclaimed actor, producer, and long-time F1® enthusiast Keanu Reeves is set to host and executive produce an upcoming documentary series chronicling the formation and rise of The Cadillac Formula 1® Team, as it prepares for its debut on the grid in 2026.
The series, produced by North One, the Emmy and BAFTA-winning production house behind Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1® Story, will take viewers behind the curtain to witness the extraordinary challenge of building a Formula 1® team from the ground up.
From engineering ingenuity to commercial ambition, the series promises full access to the people, passion, and pressure behind Cadillac’s journey into the elite world of global motorsport.
In a space often defined by legacy teams and decades of investment, Cadillac’s entrance represents both an audacious sporting ambition and a calculated commercial play — the perfect storytelling canvas for a cultural icon like Reeves.
“We’re honored to be the subject of a story told through such a thoughtful, cinematic lens — and to give fans a trackside seat for the whole ride.”

Why This Matters: The Future of F1® is Story-Driven, Brand-Backed, and Media-Integrated
This move highlights a powerful shift in motorsport strategy:
- Formula 1® is no longer just an engineering battleground; it’s a global entertainment platform.
- New entrants like Cadillac understand the importance of storytelling, fan engagement, and brand narrativebefore ever hitting the circuit.
- The involvement of Hollywood-level production (and star power) represents a new media-commercial blueprint for teams looking to build brand equity, attract global sponsors, and scale fanbases rapidly.
Building More Than a Team — Building an IP Ecosystem
Launching an F1® team in today’s landscape is not just about engines and aerodynamics — it’s about crafting an experience. Cadillac’s strategy reflects a wider trend: the integration of sport, media, tech, and culture to build scalable IP ecosystems.
Whether you’re a:
- New sports franchise
- Automotive brand entering elite competition
