The follow-up will mark his first project since the horrific car crash he was involved in while filming BBC One’s Top Gear in December 2022. In September, Flintoff made his first public appearance since the crash at the England cricket team’s opening one-day international against New Zealand, and could be seen with facial injuries. Speaking on Good Morning Britain last month, Flintoff’s Top Gear co-star Paddy McGuinness described the former cricketer as a “resilient character” who will be “right as rain”.
