Fast & Furious franchise expansion and conclusion
Overview
The ‘Fast & Furious’ film franchise is preparing for its conclusion and expansion into new media. Actor Vin Diesel reported that the script for the eleventh installment, titled ‘Fast Forever’, has been “emotionally impactful” and is expected to be released in 2028 under the direction of Louis Leterrier.
In addition to the film finale, the franchise is expanding to television. Peacock has officially greenlit the first live-action scripted series based on the franchise, produced by Universal Television and slated for a 2028 premiere. The series, which aims to explore legacy characters, will be executive produced by Vin Diesel alongside a team including Sam Vincent, Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Jeff Kirschenbaum, and Chris Morgan. Mike Daniels and Wolfe Coleman have been named as the series’ co-showrunners, pilot writers, and executive producers.
Vin Diesel noted that the decision to expand into television was driven by fan demand to explore the stories of legacy characters. He expressed confidence in the move following Donna Langley’s appointment to oversee NBCUniversal’s television operations. This television project is one of four ‘Fast & Furious’ productions currently in development for the platform. The series launch is expected to coincide with the release of the eleventh and final film in the saga, ‘Fast Forever’, which is scheduled for March 17, 2028. While this marks the franchise’s first live-action series, it follows the previously released animated ‘Fast & Furious Spy Racers’ on Netflix.
