Prime Video orders docu-series focused on Formula 1 champion Lando Norris, “Lando (working title)”

Prime Video has moved forward with a new documentary series built around Formula 1 driver Lando Norris, the streaming service announced through industry trade Deadline on Aug. 27, 2026. The project, billed as “Lando (working title),” will give audiences what the production is describing as an unprecedented look at Norris as he defends his Formula 1 crown while also providing access to a more personal side of his life.

In the announcement, Prime Video framed the series around Norris’s status as the current F1 world champion and on-track focus during the period of a title defense. Deadline reported that the series is intended to combine coverage of life in Formula 1 with a broader portrait of the driver beyond race weekends, emphasizing access that it characterizes as “never-before-seen.”

The series is being developed for Prime Video as part of the platform’s continuing slate of sports and personality-driven documentary programming. While the report describes the series concept and its intended approach, it does not lay out additional plot specifics such as the number of episodes, production timeline, or a scheduled debut date.

Deadline’s coverage also describes the series as giving “unprecedented access,” indicating that the programming is expected to rely on extended observational access rather than a conventional highlight package. That access is presented as the key differentiator of the project, with the intent of pairing Norris’s defending-champion storyline with material aimed at viewers interested in the person behind the racing headlines.

For Norris, the timing of the documentary aligns with an active competitive cycle in which he is described in the reporting as defending his championship. In practical terms, the project’s development indicates that major streaming services are continuing to invest in long-form, athlete-centric narratives that track elite competitors over time rather than limiting coverage to individual race events.

Prime Video’s choice to anchor the series on Norris also reflects the audience demand for behind-the-scenes sports storytelling. The report indicates that Prime Video is aiming to broaden its appeal to Formula 1 followers while also reaching viewers who may not be regular motorsport watchers, using a character-driven format that connects competition with everyday life.

Prime Video and the production team did not provide details in the Deadline report beyond the series concept and the working title. As a result, viewers will have to wait for later announcements to learn about cast, production credits, episode count, filming schedule, and release timing for “Lando (working title).”
