đ§ First love. First heartbreak. First ride.
Motorheads shifts into high gear this May with a gritty, heartfelt new series that merges the passion of street racing with the turbulence of teen life in small-town America. Premiering exclusively on Prime Video, this adrenaline-charged coming-of-age drama is about much more than cars â itâs about identity, rebellion, and rebuilding both engines and lives.
đ Revving Up in Rust-Belt Reality
Set in the struggling, fictional town of Ironwood, Pennsylvania, Motorheads follows a group of teenagers brought together by their shared love of speed, freedom, and escape. Once a thriving hub, Ironwood is now a shadow of its former self, and its youth are left searching for purpose amidst abandoned garages and cracked asphalt.
At the center is Zac (Michael Cimino)Â â the son of a local racing legend, now gone â who is determined to live up to the legend of his father, Christian Maddox. Heâs joined by his sister Caitlyn (Melissa Collazo), a gearhead genius hoping the move back to Ironwood will reveal the truth about their fatherâs mysterious disappearance.
Meanwhile, Curtis (Uriah Shelton)Â tries to outrun the criminal pull of his older brother Ray (Drake Rodger), while Marcel (Nicolas Cantu)Â dreams of designing the ultimate racecar. Caught in this mix are Kiara, the mayorâs conflicted daughter, and Harris, the arrogant street-race king with a family fortune fueling his dominance.
đ„ Star Power Meets Steel and Streetlights
Ryan Phillippe stars as Logan Maddox, a once-great NASCAR mechanic grappling with failure and family secrets. Alongside him is Nathalie Kelley as Samantha, an ER nurse returning to her roots to protect her children from the chaos of city life â only to find trouble is waiting in her own backyard.
With an impressive ensemble cast and slick direction, Motorheads captures the high-octane energy of a world where loyalty is everything, the pavement is your proving ground, and the roar of an engine drowns out the noise of growing up.
đ ïž More Than a Racing Drama
At its heart, Motorheads is about finding your crew, forging your identity, and the bittersweet ache of adolescence. Itâs Friday Night Lights with a turbocharger â fueled by underdog grit, broken families, and small-town dreams too big for a single zip code.
Behind the scenes, executive producers like Dana Brunetti (The Social Network) and Neil Burger (Limitless) bring their pedigree to the production, ensuring emotional depth and cinematic flair.
đïž Catch the Premiere
Buckle up â Motorheads premieres May 20, 2025, only on Amazon Prime Video. Whether youâre in it for the cars, the drama, or the heartbreak, this is one ride you wonât want to miss.
