Formula 1 history is heading back to the screen!


Netflix has announced Schumacher ’94, a new documentary set for release in 2026 that revisits the unforgettable season which launched Michael Schumacher into global superstardom.

The 1994 Formula 1 season remains one of the most dramatic and controversial in the sport’s history. Driving for Benetton, Schumacher claimed his first World Championship in a year marked by intense rivalries, rule changes, and moments that reshaped the future of Formula 1. It was the season where raw talent, relentless focus, and mental toughness defined a new era of racing.

Schumacher ’94 promises more than just race highlights. The documentary will feature personal and emotional reflections from those closest to Schumacher, including his wife Corinna Schumacher, offering rare insight into the man behind the helmet during a career-defining year. These perspectives are expected to add a deeply human layer to a season often remembered purely for its on-track drama.

Following the success of previous motorsport storytelling, Netflix continues to cement itself as a major player in bringing Formula 1 history to new audiences. By focusing on 1994, the platform is spotlighting the moment when Schumacher transitioned from promising newcomer to sporting icon.
