DESCRIPTION:
(from AMC Global Media's press release, April 2026) AMC Global Media today announced at its Upfront Content Showcase that it has greenlit the scripted drama series, Thunder Road, from AMC Studios and NASCAR Studios, with award-winning actor Dennis Quaid in the lead role. Centered on family dynamics, fierce rivalries, and the untold stories behind one of America's most iconic sports, the series is set to begin production this summer and will debut on AMC and AMC+ in 2027. Thunder Road follows the multi-generational saga of the fictional Whitlock family, whose legacy in stock car racing is as deep as the family's ties to the southern hill country roots that shaped them. Quaid will play racing legend Duane Whitlock aka "The Wrecking Ball," a towering figure who built a racing empire from a legacy of moonshine runs and dirt tracks and refuses to let it die. With ruthless competitors who will stop at nothing to dethrone and destroy them, The Whitlocks are a blue-collar dynasty at the edge of extinction - and the old king is fighting to hold onto the crown. |
