Brad Pitt blockbuster F1 sequel in the works, producer Jerry Bruckheimer tells the BBC

The sequel follows a $630 million hit that became Apple TV+'s top theatrical release and earned four Oscar nominations, with details on plot and cast still pending.

  • At the Academy Awards luncheon, producer Jerry Bruckheimer told the BBC `We're working on a sequel`, confirming Brad Pitt's return as Sonny Hayes.
  • Released last summer, 'F1' grossed over $630m and became Apple TV+'s most successful theatrical release, co-produced by seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton and nominated for four Oscars this year.
  • Filming across the 2023 and 2024 F1 seasons used live race weekends and weathered strikes, while director Joseph Kosinski enlisted seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton to ensure technical accuracy.
  • Bruckheimer said development is underway but offered no firm cast, plot or release details, and at the time of writing no concrete update exists on these elements, he confirmed to the BBC.
  • The first film ends with Hayes entering the Baja 1000, and whether the sequel continues that thread or begins anew remains to be seen, according to Bruckheimer.
