Tim Minear

Racing to the FOX Broadcasting Network this spring is the intense new drama series Drive from executive producers Tim Minear (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Wonderfalls, The Inside) and Ben Queen.

The next time you’re cut off by a crazed driver on your way to work, cut him a little slack. He could be racing for his life.

Drive is an action-fueled drama following a diverse group of Americans driving for their lives (or the lives of their loved ones) in a sinister, cross-country road race. Some of them have been coerced into joining The Race; others have sought out The Race themselves, hearing rumors of the $32-million prize. Each has a reason to compete. And each must win.

Among the varied racers are a man thrust into The Race in an effort to find his missing wife; a single mother competing under great strain... or possibly something much more strange; a buttoned-down scientist and his rebellious 15-year-old daughter; two brothers in a stolen, pimped-out Caddy that carries secrets of its own; and a gorgeous and mysterious female stowaway who may well hold the key to the secrets of The Race.

There are other competitors as well, but when no one is told whom they’re racing against, or even where the finish line is, anything is possible. With each mile clocked, the drivers get closer, not only to the finish line and a critical, life-changing victory, but to understanding the mystery behind The Race itself.

In the U.S., Drive is scheduled to premiere on Thursday, March 1, 2007 on the FOX Broadcasting Network.

Created by Tim Minear and Ben Queen, Drive is a Twentieth Century Fox Television Production. Greg Yaitanes directed the pilot and serves as an executive producer along with Minear and Queen.
