Peacock has officially greenlit a scripted television series based on the Fast & Furious film franchise. Multiple outlets report that the project is moving from development into production, with Peacock setting its sights on a 2028 premiere.
The series is described as Peacock’s first television series based on the movie franchise. Deadline and Variety note that the show was first revealed earlier in the year during NBCUniversal’s upfronts, and that the franchise has generated more than $7 billion at the global box office over the last 25 years. Hollywood Reporter adds that franchise star Vin Diesel is on board as an executive producer.
Outlets also differ in emphasis on creative and business details. Deadline highlights the announcement as an exclusive and frames it around the franchise’s long box-office run, while Variety focuses on the series’ progression to a formal series order and the timing of its 2028 target. Hollywood Reporter centers on the official green light and Diesel’s executive-producer role.
