A Netflix miniseries about Ayrton Senna is in the works and is currently in production in Brazil, set to give viewers a look at the life and F1 career of one of South America's most celebrated racing superstars.Titled simply Senna, with Brazilian actor Gabriel Leone taking the lead role, the series is billed as Netflix's most ambitious project set in that part of the world, with filming in Uruguay and Argentina having already been completed.
If you have a feeling that you've heard about a film titled Senna somewhere else, that's because it is also the title of a 2010 documentary directed by Asif Kapadia. The BBC also did its own documentary, titled Ayrton Senna, back in 1995—an effort that included input from a number of F1 stars of the era—and was produced immediately in the wake of Senna's death.
