Romance readers, rev your engines — Netflix’s licensing spree just took a steamy new turn. All three seasons of Passionflix’s fan-favorite series Driven are set to speed onto Netflix US on September 2, 2026, marking the first time the streaming giant has ever partnered with the niche romance platform.
Netflix has spent this year scooping up titles from major players like Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount, but Driven‘s arrival signals something new: the streamer is now hunting for bingeable romance content from smaller, dedicated studios too — a smart move given how massive Netflix’s romance-loving audience already is.
Passionflix: Driven on Netflix
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Release Date | September 2, 2026 |
| Seasons | 3 |
| Original Platform | Passionflix |

| Lead Actress | Olivia Grace Applegate as Rylee Thomas |

Based on the wildly popular novels by #1 New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg, Driven follows Rylee Thomas, a guarded nonprofit founder healing from past trauma, and Colton Donavan, a reckless, magnetic professional race car driver used to getting whatever — and whoever — he wants. Their chemistry ignites at a charity auction, kicking off an emotionally charged, unapologetically steamy romance as both characters wrestle with whether their connection is worth the risk.
Passionflix, co-founded by Tosca Musk, built its name adapting bestselling romance novels into films and series, and Driven is arguably its flagship title. Fans should note one cast change along the way: Casey Deidrick played Colton in Season 1 before Michael Roark stepped into the role from Season 2 onward.
