There is one silver lining for Formula One fans when each season draws to a close.

It’s only a matter of time until Netflix releases the next season of Drive to Survive and we’re granted a behind the scenes look at all of the drama.

The final lap of last season’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix meant that the series’ fourth season was riveting viewing, but it’s about so much more than those atop the standings come the end of the season.

Thanks to the popularity of Drive to Survive, 2021 viewership was up 41% compared to the 2019 racing season and 56% compared to 2020.

According to The Guardian, other sports are hopping on board, including surfing:

Make or Break is captivating television. Professional surfing is a director’s dream – the WSL sends a small crew of male and female surfers around the world to compete at idyllic surfing locations. The editors have made liberal use of high-definition competition footage, as surfers charge heavy barrels and pull off gravity-defying aerial manoeuvres against beautiful coastal backdrops. There is eye-candy galore.

But the show’s real triumph is its ability to engage surfing fans and non-fans alike with well-told stories. Make or Break gently explains and explores the complexity of professional surfing in a manner that makes it accessible for non-surfers, without alienating long-time WSL watchers. The show is unafraid to explore the gritty reality of life on tour, with heartfelt and revealing interviews.

It definitely helps that Make or Break is developed by Drive to Survive producers James Gay-Rees and Paul Martin.

Today’s the big debut on Apple TV+ and you can watch the first episode for free here.

Let’s check out that trailer:

In total, there are seven episodes and you’ll see plenty of Kelly Slater, Stephanie Gilmore, Gabriel Medina, Tyler Wright, Italo Ferreira, and Tatiana Weston-Webb, among others.

Make or Break has already been renewed for a second season so confidence is running high.

I can’t wait to see everyone get pitted. So pitted.
