💙 “More than an icon. More than a star. A legacy that still drives the world forward.”
In 2026, Netflix unveils Driven: The Paul Walker Story, a moving and intimate original documentary that shines a light on the man who lived fast, loved deeply, and left an indelible mark on Hollywood and beyond.
The Documentary
Paul Walker was more than just the face of one of the most successful film franchises of all time. He was a devoted father, a passionate humanitarian, and a man whose curiosity about the world was as boundless as his love for the ocean. Driven takes viewers beyond the screen, peeling back the layers of the Hollywood icon to reveal the warmth, humility, and purpose that defined him.
From his breakout role as Brian O’Conner in Fast & Furious — a character that became a global symbol of loyalty, family, and courage — to his relentless advocacy for marine life and disaster relief efforts, the film paints a complete portrait of a man who never let fame eclipse his humanity.
Rare Footage & Exclusive Access
Audiences will be treated to never-before-seen home videos, personal archives, and candid behind-the-scenes moments that reveal Paul Walker as few have ever known him. Exclusive interviews with his family, close friends, and co-stars — including Vin Diesel, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, and others — bring new perspectives to his story. Each voice contributes to a collective memory of a man who lived with authenticity, compassion, and a sense of adventure.
Directed with Heart
Helmed by Kari Skogland (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, The Handmaid’s Tale), the documentary was developed in close collaboration with Walker’s family. This ensures that Driven is not only an exploration of his career, but also an authentic tribute to his personal journey — from his early years as a Southern California teen with dreams of becoming a marine biologist, to the heights of international superstardom, and the legacy of kindness and purpose he left behind.
A Legacy That Lives On
What makes Driven more than just a retrospective is its forward-looking spirit. Through Paul’s charity work with Reach Out Worldwide and his ongoing influence on fans and fellow actors alike, the documentary highlights how his impact continues to ripple across generations. It is a story of resilience, love, and inspiration — reminding us that true greatness is not measured by fame, but by the lives we touch.
A Celebration of Humanity
With narration and reflective commentary (Scarlett Johansson lends her voice to segments honoring Paul’s legacy), the film offers both a deeply personal and universally inspiring story. It is a reminder that while Paul Walker may be gone, the values he lived by — loyalty, compassion, family, and love — endure as strongly as ever.
💙 Driven: The Paul Walker Story (2026) is not just a documentary. It is a heartfelt celebration of a life lived with purpose, a tribute to an icon whose legacy continues to inspire millions around the world.
Coming to Netflix in 2026 — a story of a man who was always more than the legend he became.
