by

Summary

  • Universal Pictures is bringing the world of Fast & Furious to television with a new live-action series planned for its Peacock streaming service.

  • Vin Diesel, the lead actor and a central figure in the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise, revealed the project during an event in New York City. He’s also taking on the role of executive producer.

  • Okay, so Vin Diesel got everyone hyped at that event saying Peacock was making four new shows based on the Fast & Furious movies! But honestly, I’ve been reading reports that it’s not quite that many. Apparently, only one series is actually being worked on right now. It’s a little disappointing, but still, one new Fast show is pretty cool!

The popular “Fast & Furious” franchise is expanding to television. Despite plans for an eleventh and final movie, Universal Pictures announced a new live-action TV series during a recent presentation. Vin Diesel, star of the films, revealed that the series is in development for the Peacock streaming service, indicating the franchise isn’t ending anytime soon.

Okay, so Vin Diesel announced some big news like he always does – total Dom Toretto energy! He got the crowd hyped and said Peacock was dropping four new shows based in the Fast & Furious world. But then Variety and people in the know quickly stepped in and said, ‘Hold up!’ Apparently, while they want to make a bunch of shows, only one live-action series is actually confirmed and in development right now. It was a bit of a misunderstanding, honestly.

Vin Diesel has long wanted to expand the franchise to television, but it needed the right person to make it a reality. He praised Donna Langley, the head of NBCUniversal Studio Group, for getting the project off the ground. Diesel explained that the team had been hoping to move into TV for ten years, and he felt confident it would work once Langley took charge, because she understood how to maintain the characters, the global fanbase, and the close-knit feeling of the ‘family’ that defines the series.

Details about the story and who will star in the series are still secret, but Vin Diesel will be an executive producer. This is a big move for Peacock, as they’re hoping to repeat the success Universal has had by turning popular movies like Ted, Pitch Perfect, and Chucky into hit shows on streaming platforms.

No matter if the show brings back familiar faces, introduces a new team of racers from around the world, or pushes the action to even more over-the-top levels, one thing is clear: the Fast & Furious story isn’t ending anytime soon. With a new series in development for Peacock, fans can be confident that this hugely popular franchise is still going strong.
