Motorheads

When Caitlyn and Zac Torres move to the industrial town of Ironwood, they step into a high school where cars dictate status and street racing pulses through the night. Haunted by questions about their father's past, the siblings gravitate toward a tight-knit scene of mechanics, racers, and outsiders. They join forces with Curtis, a quiet loner with a knack for engines, and Marcel, a sidelined kid with surprising skills, to bring a legendary car back to life. The rebuild becomes a focal point for alliances, rivalries, and secrets, and the show watches how hands-on work, loyalty, and old wounds reshape who the characters trust and who they want to be.

Motorheads premiered in 2025, created by John A. Norris. The drama is led by Michael Cimino as Zac, with Ryan Phillippe as Logan Maddox, Nathalie Kelley, Deacon Phillippe, and Melissa Collazo filling key roles, giving the series a strong, character-driven ensemble.

Early response has been positive, reflected in an 8.48/10 average from initial votes. Reviewers have praised the series for its grounded portrayal of teen politics and the rituals around cars, noting strong performances and a steady balance of tension and character moments. Themes of family legacy, social status, and the costs of loyalty recur across episodes.

On social media Motorheads quickly attracted an engaged fanbase, with viewers sharing restoration clips, race highlights, and fan edits. The show's emphasis on hands-on mechanics and vintage builds has resonated with automotive hobbyists, sparking local meetups and online discussions about practical restoration techniques and authentic car culture.

As of late 2025 the series had not received major awards, but critics frequently highlighted Michael Cimino's and Ryan Phillippe's work when discussing breakout TV performances of the year. That attention has led to ongoing industry chatter about the show's prospects during upcoming awards seasons.
