When is the release date of Senna?
The show will premiere on Friday, November 29, 2024. The release date occurred two years after the original intended release date. In September 2020, Netflix stated they were developing a new drama about the triple-time F1 world champion, although COVID-19 caused unexpected delays.
Because of the pandemic and the delay it caused in the filming and production of the show, the desired target, which was initially set to be released in 2022, was delayed.
