TV.com summary |
Drive is an upcoming American television series executive produced by Tim Minear, Ben Queen, and Greg Yaitanes.
The series is set across the backdrop of an illegal road race with the central focus being on the competitors and eventually on the puppet masters behind the race. Regarding the tone of the show, Minear has described it thusly: "A secret, illegal, underground road race can be anything from Cannonball Run to The Game to North by Northwest to Magnolia-on-wheels. Ours is all those things."[1]
On October 30, 2006 it was revealed in Variety that Fox had greenlit series production on Drive, ordering twelve episodes on top of the pilot that was filmed over the summer. The series is planned to premiere in the spring as a midseason replacement.[2]
