Peacock has released a wild trailer for the thrilling new documentary series Action, which offers a behind-the-scenes look at the stuntmen and stuntwomen who perform the wicked cool stunts in the action films we enjoy.
The series explores the real lives behind some of Hollywood’s top stunt performers and includes behind the scenes footage from director David Leitch’s The Fall Guy.
Leitch is a producer on the series along with Kelly McCormick and Keanu Reeves is also a part of the show as he takes audiences through his love for the art of action and why these real-life action heroes deserve industry recognition.
In Action, “Leitch and McCormick’s 87North stunt team takes center stage, revealing the captivating stories of ordinary individuals who are drawn to the electrifying world of action sports, martial arts, motocross and more.
“These daredevils navigate the high-octane, highly skilled, and often perilous world of film stunts, balancing their professional passion with the demands of everyday life.
“Every exhilarating episode reveals the indomitable spirit and camaraderie that binds together this remarkable group of stunt people. Their shared dreams and love for all things action unite them as they carve their names into the annals of Hollywood history.
“But be prepared for more than just jaw-dropping stunts; delve into their personal lives and witness the sacrifices they make and the challenges they conquer while juggling the most unique day job on the planet.”
Action also gives audiences a dive into the making of The Fall Guy, the high-octane action movie billed as “a hilarious, hard-driving, all-star apex-action thriller and love letter to action movies and the hard-working and under-appreciated crew of people who make them.”
The Fall Guy follows a blockbuster stuntman (Ryan Gosling) who has to track down a missing movie star (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) to try and win back the love of his life (Emily Blunt).
