AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Peacock has officially greenlit a Fast and Furious television series to release alongside the final movie, Fast Forever, in 2028.
Universal and Peacock are expanding the massive Fast and Furious franchise beyond the silver screen, officially greenlighting a companion television series to launch in 2028. According to reports from Polygon and Variety, the upcoming show is scheduled to debut alongside the final film in the main series, titled Fast Forever. Franchise staple Vin Diesel is attached as an executive producer, though his on-screen return as Dominic Toretto remains unconfirmed depending on the events of the final movie.
Production on Fast Forever is finally slated to kick off this December under the direction of Louis Leterrier, following years of delays since the cliffhanger ending of Fast X. The creative team for the television adaptation includes showrunners Mike Daniels and Wolfe Coleman, who bring experience from series like Sons of Anarchy and 9-1-1: Lone Star. While details on the show's plot are currently under wraps, the dual release strategy points to a massive cross-media push as the core narrative reaches its conclusion.
For communities invested in transmedia storytelling, this simultaneous film and television rollout reflects a familiar playbook used by major entertainment IPs to sustain engagement across multiple platforms. Whether the franchise can successfully translate its high-octane cinematic spectacle to episodic television will be worth watching when 2028 rolls around, especially given the passionate history of the fanbase.
