In Brawn: The One Pound Formula 1 Team (working title) Keanu Reeves will tell the story of how, in 2009, the understaffed, underfinanced and independent Brawn GP team won the World Championship, a sporting miracle that shook the F1 world.
With contributions from Ross Brawn and driver Jenson Button, the four-part doc series — narrated by Reeves, who will also conduct the interviews — is being developed and produced by showrunner Simon Hammerson and directed by Daryl Goodrich. Executive producers are Reeves, Sean Doyle and Neil Duncanson for North One.
“I am honored to be a part of telling the incredible story of Brawn GP and their remarkable F1 Championship Season in 2009 with those who lived it in this four-part documentary series,” said Reeves. “It has been great to have the support of Disney+ and producing partnership with North One to bring this story to life.”
