EXCLUSIVE: Prime Video has ordered the coming-of-age ensemble drama Motorheads, from writer/showrunner John A. Norris (All American) and executive producer Jason Seagraves (Hacksaw Ridge), to series.
Ryan Phillippe (Shooter), Nathalie Kelley (The Baker and the Beauty), Michael Cimino (Never Have I Ever) and Melissa Collazo (One Of Us Is Lying) have been set as series regulars.
Motorheads is about first love, first heartbreak, and turning the key in your very first car.

And while some characters will be navigating the hierarchy and rules of high school, others will be racing from a dark past.
Phillippe will portray Logan, a former NASCAR mechanic who now owns an auto body shop in his hometown of Ironwood, Pennsylvania. Logan is having trouble keeping his shop afloat and lives in the shadow of his infamous brother, Christian Maddox.
Kelley has been cast as Samantha, an ER nurse who’s just left her job in New York City to move back with her kids to her rust-belt hometown.
Cimino stars as Zac, who knows his dad was a street racing legend in Ironwood, and is desperately trying to live up to his father’s reputation as the best there ever was.
Collazo will bring Caitlyn to life. She is Zac’s sister and a mechanical wiz who’s passionate about cars and knows how to fix them. Caitlyn hopes that moving to her parents’ hometown will help her get a clue into the disappearance of their father.
