The eight-time Grand Prix winner is swapping the race track for a TV set as an executive producer of the new comedy
Daniel Ricciardo is bringing motorsports to the small screen with the upcoming Hulu series, 'Downforce.' The comedy has been likened to the early aughts Hollywood drama 'Entourage' - if it were set in the Formula 1 paddock. The show was first announced in 2022 when the Hollywood Reporter confirmed Ricciardo's foray into TV production with the half-hour scripted series, however the Australian has remained tight-lipped about much of what fans can expect.
Who will be writing the show? Alec Berg and Adam Countee, the duo behind HBO smash 'Silicon Valley,' are writing 'Downforce.' Berg’s other credits include 'Seinfeld,' 'Late Night With Conan O’Brien' and 'Curb Your Enthusiasm.' The pair will also serve as show-runners on the series, which was picked up for a pilot earlier this year. Marty Bowen, Wyck Godfrey and Amy Solomon will executive produce alongside Ricciardo.
