Daniel Ricciardo is getting involved in the current craze for F1® movies and television shows.
The Aussie has recently announced that he’ll be an executive producer for a brand-new television show for Disney’s streaming service Hulu.
Production is still very much in its infancy, with no writer or title locked in yet.
“I appreciate you might know a little bit already, but if you didn’t, it’s a fictional F1 TV series,” Ricciardo recently said.
“So I would say, think like Ballers or Entourage in the life of F1, or in the world of F1.
“I’ve teamed up with, they’re called Temple Hill. [They] Know what they’re doing, so I’ve got my full trust in them.
“I’m basically going to act as its executive producer, but try to, where I can, steer the ship a little.
“It’s fiction, but I’ll try to give as much input that it stays on course and doesn’t go too far away where people are like ‘okay, this would never happen’.
“I’m going to try and I guess give the best advice I can, where I can, but it’s definitely in the process.”
In addition to this Ricciardo-backed series, we’ll also see a new F1® film starring Brad Pitt and being produced by Lewis Hamilton. That movie is being propped up by Apple for their streaming service.
There’s a clear demand for more F1® content following the incredible success of Netflix’s Drive to Survive and that doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
