The Fast Saga may be in its final lap on the big screen, but the franchise is hitting the gas in a whole new direction. Vin Diesel took the stage at NBCUniversal’s upfront presentation in New York on Monday and dropped a bombshell: four shows set in the Fast & Furious universe are coming to Peacock.

The announcement drew one of the bigger reactions of the morning, and Diesel — flanked by Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon — made clear that this has been a long time coming. “For the last decade, we have realized that the fans have wanted more,” Diesel told the crowd. “They wanted us to expand the legacy characters, their stories. And for the last decade, the desire has been for us to enter the TV space.”

He credited NBCUniversal chairman Donna Langley with making the leap feel right. “It became right when Donna Langley started to oversee it all,” Diesel said, “because that’s when I knew that the integrity of the characters, the international appeal, what makes us all feel like family would be protected in the TV space.”

What We Know About the Shows

Details are still thin, but here’s what’s confirmed: at least one of the four projects is a live-action scripted series, set up at Peacock through Universal Television. Diesel will executive produce via his One Race banner alongside Fast & Furious franchise producer Neal Moritz and Pavun Shetty of Original Film. Also on board as EPs are Chris Morgan — who wrote several of the films — and Jeff Kirschenbaum.

The pilot for the scripted series will be written by Mike Daniels and Wolfe Coleman. Daniels is a busy man right now: he just landed an NBC series order for a new take on The Rockford Files, and he and Coleman previously worked together on the NBC drama Shades of Blue. That’s a solid pedigree for a franchise that’s always prided itself on character as much as carnage.

As for whether Diesel himself will actually appear on screen as Dominic Toretto? That’s still an open question. He’s confirmed as an executive producer, but there’s been no announcement of him stepping in front of the camera for any of the four shows.

A Franchise That Keeps Growing

The Fast & Furious universe has never been shy about expansion. The franchise already spawned the big-screen spinoff Hobbs & Shaw in 2019, and Diesel, Moritz, and Morgan are also executive producing an animated Fast & Furious series at Netflix from DreamWorks Animation. Four Peacock shows would push that universe into genuinely sprawling territory.

The numbers back up why NBCUniversal is betting big here. Across eleven films, the franchise has earned more than $7 billion at the worldwide box office — and it’s marking its 25th anniversary this year with a special screening of the original film at the Cannes Film Festival. That’s a fanbase that has proven, over and over, it will show up.

The theatrical run still has one more chapter left. Fast Forever — the final installment — is scheduled for March 17, 2028. But if these four Peacock shows come together the way Diesel is envisioning, the family isn’t going anywhere after that. It’s just moving to a different screen.
