Patrick Dempsey working on new F1-based TV show

If this series is going to work, it needs a good hook - something that the audience can get invested in. Given the era, I'm guessing that it will be the gentlemen drivers trying to live in a world that is quickly spiralling out of their control and the emergence of the superstar driver.

The hook will probably be the same as the one in book that he is basing it on.

I found more information.


Dempsey said he already has two small-screen projects in the works: a drama called The Limit for SundanceTV (which he describes as “Mad Menin the racing world in the 1960s”)

The article also says he wants to "commit" to a show that has "10 to 12 episodes"

I've lost almost all of my interest now...

...Let's just say I've seen enough of their original productions to be wary of the association. That's all.
