The unscripted series, dubbed Downey’s Dream Cars, is produced by Team Downey, Robert and Susan Downey’s production company, and Boat Rocker’s Matador Content. The show will premiere on the Warner Bros. Discovery streaming platform in late 2022, but with a twist.
Downey and his team of specialists are working to rehabilitate a devastated global environment by developing environmentally friendly autos for the twenty-first century.
According to Robert Downey Jr. in a statement, “My goal is to showcase that it’s possible to keep the integrity of classic cars while leveraging new tech and innovation to make them more eco-friendly. I’m thrilled audiences will get to see this series on Discovery+ later this year.”
The series is Team Downey’s second effort for Discovery+, after the four-part docuseries The Bond. Downey’s Dream Cars, the latest show, intends to combine the Iron Man star’s enthusiasm for climate change to the world of automobile restoration.
The makeover series accomplishes this by bringing Downey’s favourite automobiles into the new millennium while exhibiting the power and style that made them renowned in the first place.
Nancy Daniels, Discovery and Factual’s chief brand officer, stated in her own statement, “We are excited to bring audiences a series that shows the spirit of who Downey is and puts his passion for the environment center stage. That, and who better than Robert Downey Jr. to make eco-friendly cars look this good?”
Robert Downey Jr., Susan Downey, and Emily Barclay Ford, along with Jay Peterson, Todd Lubin, Dave Larzelere, and Ben Wood, executive produce Downey’s Dream Cars for Team Downey. For Discovery+, Kyle Wheeler is the senior executive producer, while Paola Espinosa is the coordinating producer.
