The Fast & Furious universe is getting not one, but a whopping four shows at Peacock.
Franchise figurehead Vin Diesel announced the news at the NBC Universal upfront presentation today (via Deadline). It marks a switch for the high-octane action series as fans await the arrival of Fast Forever, its 11th mainline movie, in 2028.
“Peacock is launching four shows in the Fast and the Furious universe,” Diesel said.
Peacock has yet to spell out exactly how one show might fit into the wide-reaching story of the Fast & Furious universe, much less four. Deadline’s sources, however, say that the streamer only has the first show set up, with the other three said to be “in various stages of development at Universal Television.” Peacock has not announced a release date or casting details for the project.
While it’s unclear if Diesel will act in any of the Fast & Furious shows, he is at least on board as an executive producer with Sam Vincent via One Race. Sons of Anarchy, One Tree Hill, and The Vampire Diaries scribe Mike Daniels is attached to write the pilot alongside 9-1-1: Lone Star’s Wolfe Coleman. Both writers worked together on 2016’s Shades of Blue. Fast & Furious franchise producer Neal Moritz and Pavun Shetty of Original Film are also executive producing, as are franchise regulars Chris Morgan and Jeff Kirschenbaum.
“As you all know, we are very precious about these movies but over the last decade, we’ve realized that the fans have wanted more, they wanted us to expand the legacy characters, their stories,” Diesel said at the upfront. “And for the last decade, the desire has been for us to enter the TV space.”
Fast & Furious got its start with Diesel in the original 2001 film, The Fast and the Furious, before peeling out into what has become a decades-old film franchise known for its twists, turns, and a rotating cast of well-known actors. The most recent movie in the series, Fast X, premiered in 2023, with the yearslong wait for another entry marking a change of pace from the usual one-to-two-year gap between films.
