- Peacock has officially greenlit a scripted 'Fast & Furious' TV series, first revealed during NBCUniversal's upfronts in May.
- Vin Diesel is executive producing alongside Sam Vincent (One Race), Neal H. Moritz (Original Film), Pavun Shetty, Jeff Kirschenbaum, and Chris Morgan (Chris Morgan Productions).
- Mike Daniels ('Sons of Anarchy,' 'Shades of Blue') and Wolfe Coleman ('911: Lone Star') are set as co-showrunners, pilot writers, and executive producers.
- Peacock is targeting a 2028 premiere for the series, timed to coincide with the next film installment 'Fast Forever,' which is slated for March 17, 2028.
- Universal Television is the studio behind the series.
- At the May upfront, Diesel said Peacock is launching four shows from the 'Fast and Furious' universe, noting he waited for Donna Langley's oversight to protect the franchise's 'integrity of the characters' and 'international appeal.'
- Netflix previously aired the animated spinoff 'Fast & Furious Spy Racers' for six seasons between 2019 and 2021, the franchise's prior TV foray.
Why it matters: Peacock is banking on a proven $7B-plus theatrical franchise to anchor its scripted lineup, deliberately syncing the TV launch to the March 2028 'Fast Forever' film to create a cross-platform marketing push. Universal gets a dedicated home for legacy character spinoffs that fans have been requesting for years, while Diesel and the producer team retain creative oversight through Langley's NBCUniversal leadership.
