Fast & Furious franchise expansion and production status

Overview

The ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise is undergoing expansion and potential restructuring. NBCUniversal has officially greenlit a live-action television series for Peacock, expected to debut in 2028 to coincide with the release of the film ‘Fast Forever’. Vin Diesel will serve as an executive producer alongside Neal Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Chris Morgan, and Jeff Kirschenbaum. Showrunners Mike Daniels and Wolfe Coleman will write the pilot and serve as executive producers. The series aims to expand the franchise universe by exploring character backstories, following Diesel’s previous indication that Peacock is preparing four different productions related to the brand.

However, reports regarding the eleventh film, ‘Fast Forever’, suggest production uncertainty. While Vin Diesel previously described the script as emotionally impactful, recent reports claim a finished script does not yet exist and a new director may be sought to replace Louis Leterrier.

Rumors have circulated that the film might serve as a ‘passing the torch’ installment involving a younger cast, including potential addition Charles Melton, though a Universal spokesperson issued a ‘blanket denial’ regarding these claims. Production timelines remain unclear, with suggestions that filming may not begin until early 2028, which could delay the planned March release.
