DRIVEN: THE PAUL WALKER STORY (2026)

Paul Walker wasn’t just the guy who made us believe in family behind the wheel—he was the heartbeat of it. Netflix’s heartfelt documentary drops in 2026, a love letter crafted with his family and estate, diving past the Fast & Furious nitro into the man who lived louder than any engine roar. Directed by Kari Skogland, it’s raw, real, and ridiculously moving: home videos of a sun-soaked SoCal kid chasing waves and marine dreams, evolving into the humble star whose charisma lit up screens and lives alike.

Vin Diesel chokes up in interviews about their brotherly bond (“He was the light, man”), Meadow Walker shares quiet truths about a dad who taught her to surf the biggest swells, and co-stars like Jordana Brewster and Tyrese Gibson spill on the warmth that made sets feel like barbecues. Archival gold sparkles: Paul free-diving with sharks (because why not?), tinkering in garages with that boyish grin, and founding Reach Out Worldwide—his hurricane-response crew that’s still saving lives today. The car passion? Electric: rare footage of him wrenching on skylines, drifting like poetry, proving speed was his poetry, not his prison.

It’s not all throttle—there’s the ache of 2013, handled with grace, turning loss into legacy. Nostalgic? Hell yes. Inspirational? Like flooring it toward hope. 9.7/10—Paul’s story isn’t over; it’s just shifting gears. Grab the tissues, rev up the feels.
