‘Fast & Furious’ TV Series Gets Official Green Light at Peacock

Logo text

Peacock is shifting into high gear with its plans for a Fast & Furious TV series.

The streamer has officially picked up a show based on the long-running movie franchise. The series order for the Fast & Furious show comes after franchise star Vin Diesel announced the project’s development at NBCUniversal’s upfronts in May. (On stage, Diesel said four shows were in the pipeline, though Peacock later clarified that just one was actively being developed.)

The show’s creative team is also in place: Mike Daniels (Sons of Anarchy, NBC’s forthcoming Rockford Files remake) and Wolfe Coleman (911: Lone Star) are writing the pilot episode and will serve as showrunners. They’ll executive produce with Diesel and Sam Vincent of One Race, Neal H. Moritz and Pavun Shetty of Original Film, Jeff Kirschenbaum, and Chris Morgan. Moritz and Original Film also produce the Fast & Furious movie franchise.

All other details, including the show’s potential title, are being kept under wraps for the time being. Peacock is targeting a 2028 premiere date for the show — which would line up with the release of the next movie in the series, Fast Forever. It’s slated to hit theaters on March 17, 2028.

The Fast & Furious franchise, which spans 11 movies over 25 years (so far), is one of the most valuable properties NBCUniversal owns. The movies have earned more than $7 billion at the worldwide box office and served as the basis for theme park attractions, video games and other merchandise.

News of the Fast & Furious series pickup comes as Peacock also announced that it’s developing a drama series called The Chairman starring Eddie Murphy, in what would be his first ongoing series role since he left Saturday Night Live in 1984. The Chairman comes from Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner.
