Fast & Furious Expands with Four New Shows Coming to Peacock
The Fast & Furious franchise is revving up for an exciting new chapter with the announcement of four upcoming TV shows set to air on Peacock! Vin Diesel, the face of this beloved series, revealed this thrilling news during the NBC Universal upfront presentation. As fans gear up for the release of the latest movie, Fast Forever, due in 2028, this expansion into television is undoubtedly a game-changer.
Diesel shared, “Peacock is launching four shows in the Fast and the Furious universe.” While the details are still under wraps, insiders have indicated that only one show is currently in the works, with the remaining three still in various stages of development at Universal Television. Unfortunately, we don’t have any release dates or casting announcements just yet.
Whether or not Diesel will appear in these shows remains a mystery, but he will serve as an executive producer alongside Sam Vincent. The pilot will be penned by Mike Daniels, known for his work on series like Sons of Anarchy and The Vampire Diaries, along with Wolfe Coleman from 9-1-1: Lone Star. These talented writers previously collaborated on the series Shades of Blue.
Fast & Furious has a rich legacy, kicking off with the original film back in 2001 and evolving into a blockbuster franchise filled with action-packed stunts and a dynamic ensemble cast. The most recent installment, Fast X, hit theaters in 2023 and left fans eagerly anticipating what’s next.
Diesel expressed his commitment to the franchise, stating, “We’ve realized that the fans have wanted more. They wanted us to expand the legacy characters and their stories.” This venture into the world of television is a significant step towards fulfilling that demand.
