Disney+ U.K. has shared a flurry of unscripted announcements out of Edinburgh TV Festival, including a Dua Lipa-produced docuseries about the London neighborhood of Camden and a first look at Keanu Reeves’ Formula One show.
Lipa will produce and appear in the upcoming documentary series “Camden,” which explores how some of music’s biggest stars were forever changed by the London borough. Chris Martin, Pete Doherty, Mark Ronson, Questlove, Little Simz, Nile Rodgers, Boy George, Yungblud, Black Eyed Peas, Jazzie B, Bob Vylan, Chuck D and Sister Bliss are all confirmed to feature in the series. “Camden” is produced by Lightbox in association with Day One Pictures — the production company founded by Amy Winehouse’s original manager Nick Shymansky — and Lipa’s Radical22. “Amy” helmer Asif Kapadia is the series director, and episode directors include Toby Trackman, Yemi Bamiro and co-director Sarah Lambert.
First look images for Reeves’ “Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story” have also been revealed (see below). The “John Wick” star hosts the four-part series, which tells the story of “how, in 2009, competing in the most expensive and technologically advanced racing series on Earth, the impossible happened,” according to its official logline. “An understaffed, underfinanced and independent team won the World Championship – with a team that cost just £1.” The series is set to premiere later this year.
