'Fast & Furious' TV Series Officially Greenlit at Peacock for 2028 Target

Peacock has formally given a series order to a new television adaptation based on the long-running "Fast & Furious" film franchise, according to a report by The Hollywood Reporter. The upcoming show is currently aiming for a 2028 premiere window. Franchise lead Vin Diesel is attached to the television project as an executive producer.

According to reporting from The Hollywood Reporter, the official green light follows an announcement made by Vin Diesel during NBCUniversal's upfront presentation in May. While Diesel initially indicated on stage that four separate shows were in development, Peacock later clarified that only one television series was actively being pursued by the platform.

The writing and creative leadership for the television series have been established. Showrunners Mike Daniels, known for his work on "Sons of Anarchy" and NBC's upcoming "Rockford Files" remake, and Wolfe Coleman, who worked on "911: Lone Star," are writing the pilot episode. The duo will executive produce the project alongside Vin Diesel and Sam Vincent representing One Race, as well as Neal H. Moritz and Pavun Shetty of Original Film, Jeff Kirschenbaum, and Chris Morgan. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Moritz and Original Film also serve as producers on the "Fast & Furious" feature films.

Details regarding the series plot, cast, and specific title remain confidential at this time, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. The targeted 2028 release date for the television series is planned to coincide with the premiere of "Fast Forever," the next feature film entry in the franchise, which is scheduled for theatrical release on March 17, 2028.

Spanning 11 films across 25 years, the "Fast & Furious" franchise stands as one of NBCUniversal's most lucrative intellectual properties, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The cinematic franchise has generated more than $7 billion at the global box office while expanding into video games, merchandise, and theme park attractions.

Peacock's announcement regarding the "Fast & Furious" series comes amid broader programming additions at the streaming network. As noted by The Hollywood Reporter, Peacock is also developing "The Chairman," a drama series starring Eddie Murphy in his first ongoing television series role since leaving "Saturday Night Live" in 1984, created by "Mad Men" creator Matthew Weiner. Additionally, Peacock is developing a sci-fi drama titled "Future Housewives" starring Ariana Madix.
