Peacock Greenlights First Live‑Action Fast & Furious Series

The order brings Vin Diesel and longtime franchise producers into a Peacock adaptation timed to the franchise’s planned 2028 theatrical finale.

Overview

  • Peacock officially greenlit the live‑action Fast & Furious series on Thursday, Oct. 1, 2026, with Universal Television as the studio and a target 2028 premiere meant to coincide with the film Fast Forever.
  • Mike Daniels and Wolfe Coleman will write the pilot and serve as co‑showrunners and executive producers, while Vin Diesel and Original Film producers Neal H. Moritz and Pavun Shetty join Jeff Kirschenbaum and Chris Morgan as executive producers.
  • No series title, cast or plot details have been announced and Peacock has clarified that only one of the Fast & Furious TV projects teased in May is actively moving forward.
  • The move is the franchise’s first live‑action television adaptation after the animated Spy Racers series and arrives as the Fast & Furious brand marks 25 years and more than $7 billion in global box office receipts.
  • The greenlight signals a push to extend franchise storytelling onto streaming and may affect how the studio times and markets the final film, though fan reaction has been mixed and production timing remains fluid.
