EXCLUSIVE: Matt Lanter (Jupiter’s Legacy) and newcomer Sophia Esperanza have joined Prime Video‘s Motorheads cast in recurring roles, Deadline has learned exclusively.
From writer/showrunner John A. Norris, Motorheads is about first love, first heartbreak, and turning the key in your very first car. Set in a once-thriving rust-belt town that’s now searching for a glimmer of hope, the series is the adrenaline-filled story of a group of outsiders who form an unlikely friendship over a mutual love of automobiles. And while some characters will be navigating the hierarchy and rules of high school, others will be racing from a dark past.
The series also includes previously announced stars: Ryan Phillippe, Nathalie Kelley, Michael Cimino, Melissa Collazo, Uriah Shelton, Drake Rodger, Johnna Dias-Watson, Josh Macqueen and Mia Healey.
Lanter will portray Darren, a wealthy and powerful father of 17-year-old Harris (Josh Macqueen), who, like his dad, is a serious street racer. Both Darren and Harris are struggling with the aftermath of the death of Harris’ mother. Darren is surprised to learn that the new kid in town is the son of his old street racing nemesis…
Esperanza plays Ryan, who is described as fun and dangerous. She’s the leader of a street crew from outside Ironwood, but she has a special connection to our little town.
Motorheads is written and executive produced by John A. Norris, who will serve as showrunner. The series is also executive produced by Jason Seagraves, Jake Fuller on behalf of Jax Media, Dana Brunetti, and Keegan Rosenberger. Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland) is attached to direct the pilot and Ryan Zaragoza will serve as co-executive producer. The series is produced by Jax Media and Amazon MGM Studios.
