Fast & Furious is not just a movie; it has now become a global culture. And this time, that world is about to get much bigger. Vin Diesel himself has confirmed that a new live-action TV series based on the Fast & Furious universe is in development, and it will air on the streaming platform Peacock.
A massive wave of excitement has taken over social media ever since this announcement. For years, fans have been wanting this universe to be explored more deeply beyond the movies. Now, it seems that the wait is finally coming to an end.
How Did This Announcement Happen?
Vin Diesel delivered a major surprise when he took the stage at NBCUniversal’s 2026 upfront event at Radio City Music Hall in New York. He was joined by popular talk show host Jimmy Fallon.
It was there that Diesel revealed multiple shows within the Fast & Furious universe are being developed for the Peacock platform. However, as of now, it is confirmed that one series is actively in the works.

Since the announcement, a huge debate has started among fans will this series carry the movie’s storyline forward, or will it tell a separate story featuring new characters? This remains a big question in everyone’s minds.
Why a TV series all of a sudden after So Long?
Vin Diesel answered this question himself. According to him, fans had been demanding more Fast content for many years. However, he wanted to wait for the right time and the right team.
Diesel stated that he wanted to ensure the series wouldn’t ruin the core feeling of the movies. In particular, the emotion of “family”, which is the biggest strength of this franchise, must be properly maintained.
Who Is Working on This Series?
Behind this project are several experienced TV and film creators:
Vin Diesel – Executive Producer
Samantha Vincent – Producer
image credit – Fast and furious/universal pictures
Neal H. Moritz – Longtime Fast franchise producer
Chris Morgan – Popular Fast & Furious writer and producer
Mike Daniels & Wolfe Coleman – Showrunners and writers of the pilot episode
Because of this team, many fans are optimistic that the series will not be made just for the sake of the name but will instead retain the authentic Fast and Furious vibe.
What Will the Story Be?
No official plot has been revealed yet. The title of the series is also currently unknown. However, fans have already started discussing a few possibilities.

Many believe it might explore Dom’s past or tell a story about a new generation of street racers, while others think it could showcase standalone stories for popular characters like Han, Letty, or Roman. However, all of this is still purely speculation.
The Big Question: Will Vin Diesel Act in It?
This is the biggest question right now. It is currently unconfirmed whether Vin Diesel will act in the series. He is attached as an executive producer, but whether he will appear on screen is still being kept a secret.
However, fans are hopeful that he will be seen as Dom, even if it is just for a small cameo.
When Could It Be Released?
No official release date has been announced yet. However, since the series is currently in the development stage, it is estimated that it might release around 2027 or 2028.
Interestingly, the movie Fast & Furious 11 or Fast Forever is also expected to arrive in 2028. Therefore, both projects coming together could make the franchise even bigger.
My Final Opinion
Fast & Furious is no longer just a movie – it is a massive entertainment universe. And that universe is now about to get much larger through a TV series.
The way Vin Diesel spoke about this project shows that he doesn’t view it merely as a business. He wants the true emotion and family-centric feel of the franchise to remain intact.
Now, it’s just a matter of waiting for its trailer or more major details to arrive, and to finally see it all unfold.
