F1 Academy will have its own documentary as Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine announce docuseries currently in production and it will launch globally on Netflix in 2025.

The multi-part, adrenaline-fueled series will give fans exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to the all-women driving category.

Not only highlighting the drama of the races, it will show the personal stories and high stakes for the drivers, their teams, sponsors, and families involved, as they break barriers in one of the most demanding sports in the world.

Susie Wolff, MBE, Managing Director of F1 ACADEMY said: “We want to be the rocket fuel that drives female participation in our sport, both on and off the track.

“To have the F1 Academy docuseries launch globally with Netflix is not just a huge step forward in visibility for our mission, but also a resounding statement about the momentum and demand for women’s sport.

“We want to inspire and empower the next generation of young women, and Netflix will open up F1 Academy to a global audience of existing and future fans.”

The partnership with Netflix will see the F1 Academy series join global sensation Formula 1: Drive to Survive on the service, giving the series an unrivalled platform and fans the opportunity to engage with F1 Academy in a new and immersive way.

As one of the world’s leading entertainment services, with 270 million paid memberships in over 190 countries Netflix’ partnership will help put women’s motorsport in the public eye as the 2024 F1 Academy season is being broadcast to 160 countries as well as being streamed on YouTube.

Reese Witherspoon, founder of Hello Sunshine, said: “We started Hello Sunshine to change the narrative for women, and Susie Wolff and F1 Academy are doing just that by creating new opportunities in the thrilling world of motorsport.

“As these dynamic and fearless drivers break barriers behind the wheel, we are excited to partner with Netflix to tell the stories of these powerhouse leaders.

“What we know is that when we put women at the center, people show up to watch.”

Cumbrians will be watching with interest as local racer Jessica Edgar is currently taking part in her second season in the competition.

The 19 year old finished eighth in 2023 and recorded her first victory in Austin, Texas while this season she currently sits eighth after four races and has just been announced as American Express’ representative in the series.

F1 Academy is being broadcast in over 160 territories and streamed live on F1 Academy’s YouTube and X channels and via F1TV, bringing the series and its mission to fans globally.
