Production activity on the film ‘Isle of Man’ inspired by the Isle of Man TT Races will begin during this year’s event. In doing so, it will use the 2026 Isle of Man TT Races as an authentic backdrop. This will create a major opportunity to showcase the Isle of Man to global audiences.
The announcement marks the next step for a project already positioned to take the TT to a far wider international audience.
At the same time, it creates a powerful platform to showcase the Island itself on a global stage.
For the Isle of Man, the opportunity extends well beyond the screen. Alongside the visibility the production will bring to the TT, the production of the film will help place the Island’s landscape, character and identity in front of new audiences worldwide. Additionally, this supports broader ambitions around tourism, profile, and long-term economic growth.
The Isle of Man TT Races is one of world sport’s most extraordinary events: a spectacle shaped by courage, commitment and craft.
Moreover, this production represents a rare opportunity to translate that scale, challenge and authenticity for global entertainment audiences. It also reinforces the TT’s status as one of the most compelling stories in motorsport.
“This is a major moment not only for the Isle of Man TT Races, but for the Isle of Man as a whole. To have filming begin at this year’s event is another step forward in taking the TT story to a global audience. Moreover, it will showcase the Island itself to millions of people around the world.
“The TT has always been one of the Isle of Man’s greatest assets, a world-class event with a unique identity and international appeal. Projects of this scale have the potential to create lasting value. In the same way, they support destination awareness, strengthen our global profile, and help more people discover what makes the Isle of Man so special.” Mrs Sarah Maltby MHK, Political Member with responsibility for Motorsport and Tourism.
The film forms part of the wider package picked up by Amazon MGM Studios. This package also includes a companion docuseries filmed during the 2024 Isle of Man TT Races.
“The TT has an extraordinary story to tell, and what makes this so authentic is that filming begins at the event itself. It captures the real environment, with the real atmosphere, and against the backdrop of the Isle of Man.
“The reach of a project like this goes far beyond motorsport. It creates a new opportunity for the Isle of Man and a chance to connect the TT. Furthermore, it connects the place that makes it possible, with entirely new audiences around the world.” Paul Phillips, Head of Motorsport, Department for Enterprise.
Filming activity during TT 2026 will be managed in close coordination with the Event Organiser, Race Promoter and relevant stakeholders. This is to ensure that race operations, safety and the experience of competitors, officials, residents and fans remain the priority throughout.
