Netflix partners with Alan Ritchson for MotoGP‑centric heist thriller
Netflix has struck a creative pact with actor Alan Ritchson, who will star in an untitled heist thriller set against the backdrop of MotoGP racing.
Ritchson’s production company, Dancing Skeleton, holds the rights to develop the project exclusively for the streaming platform.
Screenwriter Chris Morgan, famed for reviving the Fast and Furious franchise, will flesh out the story that follows a former MotoGP prodigy joining Interpol to stop a syndicate of motorcycle thieves.
The thieves target priceless antiquities worldwide; as the plot unfolds, the protagonist suspects that the ringleader may be his brother, presumed dead years earlier, injecting a family‑driven twist into the high‑speed chase.
The narrative has been marketed as a “Fast and Furious with motorcycles,” a pitch that resonated with Netflix thanks to Morgan’s ties to the action‑heavy series. MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group has signed an advisory agreement, pledging official support and collaboration on production details.
With industry pedigree and full MotoGP endorsement, the film promises a blend of crime, family intrigue, and adrenaline‑fueled races that will captivate streaming audiences.
