Keanu Reeves Motorcycle Racing Series ‘Hooligans’ Renewed For Season 2 On Samsung TV Plus
EXCLUSIVE: Samsung TV Plus is renewing original series Hooligans: The ARCH Racing Project with Keanu Reeves & Gard Hollinger for a second season.
The docuseries stars Reeves and Hollinger, who are also executive producers. The renewal news comes ahead of Sunday’s finale of the six-episode first season. In an interview with Deadline earlier this summer, Takashi Nakano, VP of content and programming for Samsung TV Plus, described how the series fits into the streaming giant’s strategy. The intent of the series, he said, is to get viewers ” intimately involved in the life of racing.”
Produced by V10 Entertainment, the series follows Reeves and Hollinger, riders Corey Alexander and Jeremy McWilliams and their team as they compete in the MotoAmerica road racing series. In the vein of Netflix’s Drive to Survive, the series brings to life the personalities and color behind the races.
Salek Brodsky, SVP & Global Head of Samsung TV Plus, called Hooligans “a defining moment” for the platform. “Keanu and Gard have built something that captures the thrill of motorcycle culture through character-driven stories about craftsmanship, innovation and pushing boundaries. Renewing Hooligans reflects our commitment to premium originals that resonate well beyond the screen, and we’re thrilled to keep building alongside Keanu, Gard and V10 Entertainment.”
As the first original docuseries on Samsung TV Plus, the series is part of an exclusive lineup that also includes the four-part original scripted anthology Unlikely Romances from Dhar Mann Studios.
“When we set out to make Hooligans, we wanted to capture something authentic about motorcycle racing: the risk, the family, the obsession that pulls people in,” added John Stevens, CEO, V10 Entertainment. “Keanu and Gard brought a level of passion and specificity that pushed us all to dig deeper. Samsung TV Plus gave us the room to tell this story right. Seeing it resonate the way it has means everything to this team. We can’t wait to share what’s in store for season two.”
Earlier this summer, the streaming platform launched the MotoAmericaTV Channel, which Hooligans is designed to complement. The 24/7 outlet has more than 200 hours of premium race content including live event streams, full race replays, select practice sessions and qualifiers, behind-the-scenes footage, archival videos and full coverage of the 2026-27 season.
Hooligans is executive produced by Reeves, Hollinger, Sharon Hollinger, Carter Skeath, Chance Wright, Rick DeOliveira, and John Stevens, with Alan Bloom serving as showrunner. The docuseries is produced by V10 Entertainment, Thank You Pictures and Trojan Horse Productions.
