Keanu Reeves Motorcycle Racing Docuseries “Hooligans” Renewed for Season 2 on Samsung TV Plus

Samsung TV Plus has renewed Keanu Reeves and Gard Hollinger’s original docuseries “Hooligans: The ARCH Racing Project” for a second season, ahead of the Season 1 finale.

2 min readEditor-approved Apex article

Samsung TV Plus announced it will renew the original docuseries “Hooligans: The ARCH Racing Project” for a second season, bringing back Keanu Reeves and Gard Hollinger for additional episodes, the platform said in an exclusive report on Aug. 13, 2026. The news arrives ahead of the Sunday finale of the six-episode first season, which follows the creation and development of the ARCH Racing Project.

The series stars Reeves and Hollinger, who are also listed as executive producers. Reeves and Hollinger’s involvement spans both on-screen and production roles, positioning the show as an ongoing story of racing, technical work, and team building rather than a single, contained season arc, according to the renewal reporting.

The first season is framed around motorcycle racing and the collaborative effort behind the ARCH Racing Project, with episodes building toward the conclusion of the initial run. Deadline reported that Samsung TV Plus’s renewal determination is tied to the performance and continued slate development for its original programming, with the Season 1 finale scheduled to air Sunday.

Samsung TV Plus, the ad-supported streaming service, is renewing “Hooligans” through its originals lineup, extending the partnership between the platform and the creators behind the series. The renewal also indicates continued investment in unscripted series built around established celebrity involvement and niche motorsports subject matter, with Reeves and Hollinger again positioned as key creative figures.

Deadline also noted that the renewal announcement comes after interviews earlier this summer, indicating that production planning for additional episodes was in motion before the Season 1 finale. Specific episode count, production timeline, and release dates for Season 2 were not detailed in the renewal report.

For viewers, the next step is the Season 1 finale airing Sunday, after which Samsung TV Plus will move forward with additional episodes as Season 2 develops. For the creators and production team, the renewal means extending a production schedule centered on motorsports access and the real-world work involved in building and racing motorcycles.

As with many streaming renewals, the practical implications for audiences will depend on how Samsung TV Plus releases the next run and how it structures subsequent chapters of the ARCH Racing Project. Until further announcements, details including the length of the new season and any cast or team changes remain unreported.

Why It Matters

  • The renewal extends Samsung TV Plus’s investment in unscripted original programming built around motorsports and celebrity executive involvement.
  • Audiences will have continuity after Sunday’s Season 1 finale, with a second season planned but not yet scheduled publicly.
  • The series’ renewal suggests ongoing demand for accessible, ad-supported streaming platforms offering niche sports and behind-the-scenes filmmaking.
  • For producers and the motorsports community involved in the ARCH Racing Project, a second season indicates continued production access and storytelling opportunities beyond the initial run.
