Amazon MGM Studios is developing an exciting new Formula One series, with British actress Felicity Jones set to star in the lead role. Known for her standout performances in films like The Theory of Everything, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Like Crazy, and On the Basis of Sex, Jones will not only act in the show but will also serve as an executive producer.
The series, titled One, is set to dive into the high-speed world of Formula One racing, capturing the intensity and drama of the sport. While the project is still in the early stages, with no official order yet, it is being developed for Amazon’s streaming platform, Prime Video, according to entertainment news outlet Variety.
Jones’ involvement in One marks a significant step into the world of sports drama for the actress, whose career has spanned a wide range of genres. Fans are eager to see her take on this challenging new role, given her proven ability to portray complex and inspiring characters.
Although the series has yet to be officially greenlit, its connection to Formula One—already a highly popular sport worldwide—and Jones’ star power has generated considerable buzz. If picked up, One could become an exciting addition to Prime Video’s growing slate of original content, drawing both racing fans and those interested in compelling, character-driven stories.
