## Synopsis

Senna (2024) is a Brazilian biographical limited series created by Vicente Amorim for Netflix. Gabriel Leone plays racing legend Ayrton Senna, a driver fascinated by cars since childhood who rises from Brazilian kart tracks to Formula 1 stardom. Kaya Scodelario plays Laura Harrison, and Matt Mella plays rival Alain Prost, with Patrick Kennedy as team boss Ron Dennis and Camila Márdila as Viviane Senna, the family at the heart of his life. The engine of the story is a driven athlete's pursuit of victory in a sport where every corner carries danger, and the six episodes move through the cutthroat garages, political boardrooms and rain-soaked circuits that shaped his career. Told as a single continuing story across six hour-long episodes, the miniseries is a sports drama with a prestige streaming polish and a rich Brazilian texture. Its tone is intense and emotional, with a sincere reverence for its subject and a weight that builds toward a tragedy the overview foreshadows. Fans of Rush, Ford v Ferrari and the documentary Senna will find resonance in its portrait of motorsport obsession, national pride and personal faith.
