AceShowbiz - The Fast & Furious franchise is expanding beyond the big screen with an upcoming television series announced by original star Vin Diesel. The news was revealed during an NBCUniversal upfront presentation in New York on May 11, 2026, where Diesel shared exciting plans for the beloved action saga’s transition to TV.

Vin Diesel explained that fans have long expressed a desire for more stories featuring their favorite characters. “For the last decade, we have realized that the fans have wanted more,” Diesel said, highlighting the demand to explore legacy characters and their narratives in greater depth. He emphasized the importance of maintaining the series’ integrity and global appeal, which influenced the timing of the project. Diesel credited Peacock’s leadership under Donna Langley for ensuring the TV adaptation would honor the franchise’s spirit and family-like bond.

While Diesel mentioned the launch of four shows within the Fast & Furious universe on Peacock, reports from Variety suggest that only one series is currently confirmed. Despite this discrepancy, fans can expect the show to premiere exclusively on the Peacock streaming platform when it releases.

As for the release date, no official timeline has been provided yet. The series remains in early development stages, and Peacock has not announced when viewers can expect to see it. Updates will be shared as the project progresses.

Regarding the cast, no actors have been confirmed for the series so far. With development ongoing, final casting decisions have yet to be made. However, production details reveal that Mike Daniels and Wolfe Coleman are attached as co-showrunners and executive producers, also contributing as writers to the pilot episode. Vin Diesel will serve as an executive producer alongside Sam Vincent through One Race, with Neal Moritz and Pavun Shetty of Original Film also executive producing, supported by Jeff Kirschenbaum and Chris Morgan.

The plot remains tightly under wraps, but the creative direction aims to expand on the legacy characters and their stories, deepening the franchise’s narrative universe. Fans of the high-octane franchise can look forward to a series that respects the original films while exploring new storytelling possibilities.
