Fast & Furious Is Officially Coming to TV
A cinematic obsessive with the filmic palate of a starving raccoon, Rob London will watch pretty much anything once. With a mind like a steel trap, he's an endless fount of movie and TV trivia, borne from a misspent youth of watching monster movies on TV, perusing the sun-faded goods at the local video rental shop, and staining his fingers with ink from the Video Movie Guide. Areas of interest include science fiction, film noir, horror flicks, '70s disaster pictures, Bond movies, '90s action, giant robots, dinosaurs, super heroes, and the exuberantly schlocky output of Cannon Films. He also enjoys both Star Trek and Star Wars when they're good, and maybe even more when they're bad. As a Canadian, he also has a vested interest in Canadian movies and TV shows, especially the cheesier ones dubbed "Canuxploitation."
An expert on Marvel Comics, he has also written for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and is a member of the Marvel Research Team. He can frequently be found pontificating on comic-book continuity or bemoaning the misfortunes of the Toronto Maple Leafs on his Twitter account.

Get ready to start your engines, Fast and Furious fans. While the latest, and possibly last film in the long-running series is still in the pits getting a tune-up before it hits the track, the franchise won't remain at the starting gate for too long. It's about to venture into territory it hasn't explored before.
The series began as a low-budget film that combined street racing with crime, inspired by a 1998 article in Vibe. However, as the series' box office grosses and budgets got bigger, the series progressively expanded in scope into a globe-trotting action-adventure saga, with supercars, super villains, and even a voyage into outer space.
A Fast and Furious series has been given the green light at Peacock. The high-octane action franchise will be getting a new scripted TV series set in the world of the movies. It was first announced by series star Vin Diesel in the spring, and now it's been ordered by the streamer, an arm of the Universal conglomerate that also releases the films. The live-action series will be showrun and written by Mike Daniels (Sons of Anarchy) and Wolfe Coleman (911: Lone Star); the duo previously worked on the series Shades of Blue together. Diesel will executive produce, alongside Sam Vincent, Neal H. Moritz and Pavun Shetty, Jeff Kirschenbaum, and Chris Morgan.
A Fast and Furious TV series is in development at Peacock; it is aiming at a release in 2028. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
