The series will draw inspiration from the bestselling book Ferrari Rex<\/a> by Luca Del Monte, a biography on race car diver and entrepreneur Enzo Ferrari. Del Monte serves as a historical consultant for the series, which\u00a0will be directed by Stefano Sollima, who previously helmed Sicario 2: Soldado.<\/p>\n The official synopsis for the series states: \u201cFive years. Five drivers. Five deaths. One trial. In the name of passion, in the pursuit of pure speed. At the centre 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.<\/p>\n \u201cBut 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.\u201d<\/p>\n Knight, who will be penning the project, said of the series: \u201cI am thrilled to be telling such an evocative story about this legendary man and his iconic brand. Enzo Ferrari\u2019s utterly extraordinary life was defined by his dramatic personal and professional journey, and Ferrari is a celebration of an incredibly complex and fascinating human being.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Sollima said: \u201cAs an Italian I feel honoured to get to tell this story of Enzo Ferrari, a shining example of Italian excellence. Through his relationship with Ferrari Spring Team, the five drivers Enzo \u2018adopted\u2019 in his scuderia after the loss of his firstborn son, we will explore the unique qualities, the great genius and the dark obsession that turned this man into a legend.\u201d<\/p> The series is produced by Lorenzo Mieli for The Apartment Pictures, a Fremantle Company, which has previously been behind The Young Pope and My Brilliant Friend, and will be a co-production with Nicola Giuliano for Indigo Film and Fremantle.<\/p>\n Ferrari will stream on Apple TV+. <\/strong>Find out how to\u00a0sign up for Apple TV+ here<\/a><\/strong>, check out our\u00a0Drama<\/a>\u00a0hub for more news, interviews and features or find something to watch with\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
