As If 11 Movies Weren't Enough, Vin Diesel Just Announced a Fast & Furious TV Show
Just when you think it's all over, it starts up again. Fast and Furious actor and producer Vin Diesel has announced that, in addition to an eleventh(!) film on the way, there's now also a TV series in the making. NBCUniversal and Diesel have announced that the star will be the executive producer behind a new series coming to streaming, with Diesel himself saying, "Peacock is launching four shows in the Fast and the Furious universe." However, the Hollywood Reporter says that a source at Peacock has confirmed only one series in development. Either way, the F&F saga is clearly far from over, so what can we expect?
Conflicting Opinions About Quantity Raise Questions Over Substance
According to Deadline, there could be up to four different episodic series, each with its own unique stories, with the publication claiming its insiders have confirmed that one of the series is already set up at Peacock, with more to follow. But that's the thing about anonymous sources - they can say just about anything. Diesel seems confident that there's an appetite for so much content, but he's always been tied to the franchise and hasn't found much success beyond it, XXX and Riddick notwithstanding. "As you all know, we are very precious about these movies, but over the last decade, we've realized that the fans have wanted more, they wanted us to expand the legacy characters, their stories," said Diesel. "And for the last decade, the desire has been for us to enter the TV space." Of course, there is already an affiliated TV Series, Netflix's Fast and Furious: Spy Racers, and it got six seasons, but that's animated, and this will be live action.
Fast & Furious Still Has Wild Stories to Tell, Apparently
For what is believed to be the final film in the franchise, Fast Forever, a release date is scheduled for March 17, 2028, and to help up the ante set by its prequels, it may be the wildest one yet, with soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo supposedly playing a part, according to Diesel and co-star Tyrese Gibson. The late Paul Walker's character, Brian O'Conner, is also set to return. Whether the series (plural or singular) will focus on the events between Fast X and the finale, prior to them, or another period altogether remains to be seen, but it seems the producers won't stop coming up with ways to combine cars, crime, and carnage to fill their coffers.

While we don't doubt that the F&F franchise will lend its name to whatever project it thinks would turn a profit, it's worth keeping in mind that Diesel doesn't have the best reputation when it comes to playing well with others, including Dwayne Johnson. The pair have made up to capitalize on the final film, but Diesel has butted heads with studios in the past, too, be it over budget constraints or creative differences. What do you think? Are there still stories in this universe worth telling, or has the franchise already run itself into the ground? Let us know your thoughts below.
