Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.Alan Ritchson is staying put at Netflix as his next film with the popular streamer is revealed. Most recently, the actor starred in War Machine, which debuted at the top of Netflix's streaming chart when it was released in March 2026. The sci-fi flick is currently the 10th most popular Netflix movie ever, behind such hits as KPop Demon Hunters, Red Notice, Carry-On, Don't Look Up and Bird Box. Deadline reports that Ritchson has just signed a first-look movie deal with Netflix. The first project under this partnership is a heist thriller about the motorcycle racing championship MotoGP. After a motorcycle gang travels the world stealing valuable artifacts and antiquities, Ritchson's character, a skilled MotoGP racer, is tasked by Interpol with finding and capturing the criminals. One major wrinkle may get in his way, though: his presumed-dead brother might be involved with the gang. Not only will Ritchson act in the project, but he'll also serve as a producer (via his production company Dancing Skeleton) with Chris Morgan, Ainsley Morgan, Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum. The actor's new deal with Netflix means that after the MotoGP film, he'll continue serving in the same acting and producing roles for additional feature-length projects at the streamer. He's already attached to Netflix's Maelstrom, which Carry-On's Jaume Collet-Serra is directing. Morgan, who has written most of the scripts in the Fast & Furious franchise, is also on board as the screenwriter of the MotoGP film, which is currently untitled. Similar to how Formula One was heavily involved in the production of Brad Pitt's F1, MotoGP will act as a consultant on Ritchson's project. More to come...
