The pilot was originally picked up by the streamer back in May. According to the official logline: "When the owner of a legendary racing team throws his estranged daughter back into the family business, they must find common ground or risk destroying the team's legacy."
Bartlett will play Sir Trevor, described as "the larger-than-life founder and owner of the team." Hewson will play his daughter Victoria, who is "a shrewd and ruthless investment banker who finds her way back to head office. She knows business, he knows racing, and together they must figure out the business of racing after years apart."
Hewson will next be seen in the Netflix miniseries "The Perfect Couple" opposite Nicole Kidman, Dakota Fanning and Liev Schrieber. The show debuts on September 5. She is known for her roles in series such as "Bad Sisters" and "The Knick" and for films such as "Flora and Son," "Bridge of Spies," "Enough Said" and "This Must Be the Place."
