Vin Diesel Announces Four Fast & Furious TV Shows for Peacock
Vin Diesel, the face of the Fast & Furious franchise, announced that Peacock will launch four television series set within the popular action universe. The revelation occurred during the NBC Universal upfront presentation, signaling a significant expansion of the brand beyond its successful film series. While the eleventh mainline movie, titled Fast Forever, is scheduled for release in 2028, these shows aim to satisfy fan demand for more content and deeper exploration of legacy characters. Currently, only the first show has a concrete setup, with the remaining three in various stages of development at Universal Television. No release dates or casting details have been confirmed yet. Diesel will serve as an executive producer through his One Race company, alongside key franchise producers like Neal Moritz and Chris Morgan. Writers Mike Daniels and Wolfe Coleman are attached to pen the pilot. This move marks a strategic shift for the decades-old franchise, which began in 2001, as it enters the television space to expand its narrative reach and engage audiences during the longer gaps between theatrical releases.
