DESCRIPTION:
(from Apple's press release, July 2022) Apple TV+ today announced a straight-to-series order for the electrifying new drama series "Ferrari," inspired by bestselling book "Ferrari Rex" by Luca Dal Monte, named by the New York Times as "the definitive biography" on race car driver and visionary entrepreneur Enzo Ferrari. Created and written by Academy Award nominee Steven Knight ("See," "Dirty Pretty Things," "Peaky Blinders"), Stefano Sollima ("Sicario: Day of the Soldado," "Suburra," "A.C.A.B.") directs the series currently in pre-production in Rome, Italy. Five years. Five drivers. Five deaths. One trial. In the name of passion, in the pursuit of pure speed. At the center of it all a titanic man, complex and multifaceted, who dedicated his genius to the mission of building the fastest racing car in history. Enzo Ferrari: his name became a boast, an aspiration, and ultimately legend. But there was a trail of tragedy and torment along the way. Between 1956 and 1961, deeply wounded by the tragic death of his firstborn son Dino and by what he considered a betrayal by his lead driver Juan Manuel Fangio, Enzo Ferrari rebuilds his racing team from scratch, selecting five promising rising stars of motor racing to fight for victory.
