Peacock Greenlights First Live-Action 'Fast & Furious' TV Series

Peacock has officially ordered its first live-action television series based on the "Fast & Furious" franchise, according to Deadline, Variety, and The Hollywood Reporter. The untitled project comes from writers Mike Daniels and Wolfe Coleman, who will serve as co-showrunners. The announcement arrives as the film series marks its 25th anniversary, with 11 movies released since 2001 and more than $7 billion in global box office grosses.

Vin Diesel, who stars in the films, is attached as an executive producer. He first revealed the series was in development at NBCUniversal's upfront presentation in May, telling the audience, "Peacock is launching four shows in the Fast and the Furious universe," according to The Hollywood Reporter and Complex. Peacock later clarified that only one show was actively in development.

The creative team includes several franchise veterans. Neal H. Moritz and Pavun Shetty of Original Film, which produces the movies, will executive produce alongside Jeff Kirschenbaum and Chris Morgan. Sam Vincent of One Race, Diesel's production company, is also on board. Daniels previously executive produced Peacock's "PONIES" and has writing credits on "Sons of Anarchy" and "Shades of Blue." Coleman was an executive producer on "9-1-1: Lone Star" and also worked on "Shades of Blue."

Peacock is targeting a 2028 premiere for the series, which would align with the theatrical release of "Fast Forever," the next film in the franchise, scheduled for March 17, 2028. The Hollywood Reporter noted that the show's potential title and other details are being kept under wraps.

The series order is part of a broader push at Peacock, which also announced a drama series called "The Chairman" starring Eddie Murphy, his first ongoing series role since leaving "Saturday Night Live" in 1984.
