Formula E: Driver – plot overview
Formula E: Driver offers unfiltered access to the lives of four electric car racers, combining exclusive on- and off-track footage to give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the drama and intensity of Season 10.
Produced by Astronaut Films, Driver opens in Mexico, as reigning champion Jake Dennis returns from a summer of celebrations, hungry to retain his title. The series goes behind the visor to follow Dan Ticktum, whose 'bad boy' reputation has his future at Formula E hanging in the balance, before culminating in London's dramatic season finale, where five drivers, including Mitch Evans and António Félix da Costa, fiercely compete for the championship crown.
What the drivers and makers said about the show
António Félix da Costa, who drives under No. 13, said about the show, 'This documentary takes you completely behind the scenes, giving fans a raw and unfiltered look at what it means to be a racing driver. We've captured the highs, the heartbreaks, and everything in between—bringing viewers inside our world to experience the intensity, pressure, and passion that fuel our sport. Success and failure define motorsport, and with this series, we're pulling back the curtain to show it all."

It was great to work with Astronaut Films and the Formula E team on this new venture, which we hope will allow fans to see just what it takes to compete in the world's most competitive motorsport, and enable our sport to grow and reach a much wider audience."
Jake Dennis added, 'Having the production team follow me throughout the entire season gave a true insight into what it's really like to be a Formula E driver—the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
Fans usually only see what happens on race day, but this series captures so much more. It's great to have documentaries like this that bring fans closer to the sport and show the reality of what it takes to compete at this level.'
Dan Ticktum also said, 'Filming Formula E: Driver was pretty intense, but I really enjoyed it. I like the fact that Formula E and all of the guys at Astronaut were very keen on having drivers express who they are.
A lot of the filming was very fun, and I was able to be myself a lot of the time. Hopefully, the series will give a good insight into what it's like being a

, and I hope that it's successful so we can continue to film for years to come.'

The Boys star Anthony Starr pens bittersweet goodbye after final shoot
Agency: PTI Last Updated: Los Angeles, Aug 14 (PTI) To commemorate the final shoot for the Amazon Prime series, 'The Boys" actor Anthony Starr, who plays Homelander in the series, wrote a bittersweet goodbye note. Based on a comic book series, 'The Boys" premiered in 2019 and the shoot for its five season-run culminated recently. Created by Eric Kripke, the show is noted for its satirical exploration of superheroes, and has amassed a global following over the years. Starr's character is the leader of the superhero team in the show, 'The Seven". Homelander is portrayed as egotistic and power-hungry. Starr admitted the departure has been surreal, writing, 'been waiting a little to let things settle and try and process the end of this show." The actor also recounted the multiple roadblocks between seasons. 'This juggernaut left the station and never stopped. Except for that Covid moment. Oh and the strikes. That was a thing too," Starr quipped. Starr also recounted his character, and his fondness for the show. 'I love this show. And I love this character. Truly. I will dearly miss heading to work, knowing what we were aiming for but never knowing where we would find ourselves by the end of the day… Only that we would have fun and it would be creatively rewarding in the extreme." He wrote The star further asserted the uniqueness of the show, writing 'There's nothing else like it. It lives in its own lane." Starr thanked the show's cast and crew. He called Kripke, the 'co-parent" to his Homelander character. 'We created a monster, sir. And I will miss him, and you." 'At the end of the shoot, all there really is to say is- thank you. The incredible Canadian crew. The amazing production team. The insanely talented cast. The people at Amazon and Sony that took a chance on this insane thing (and made the great choice in casting me) and all the other people that contributed in some way, big or small, to this beautiful, complex, warped, delicious show," The actor added. An emotional Starr also thanked the show's fan base. 'And finally- massive thank you to the fans. You are the life blood. Without you, we don't get to do this. And our fans are second to none. Mad love to you …and deepest respect for your taste." The fifth season of 'The Boys" has no set premiere date, although it may be released in 2026, according to entertainment news outlet Deadline. A spin-off show in the same universe, 'Gen V", which premiered in 2023, will return with a second season this September.
