Peacock has greenlit a live-action Fast & Furious television series and is targeting a 2028 debut, according to Deadline, as reported by The Drive. The series’ title, plot, cast and exact release date remain undisclosed; the report also identifies its writers and several executive producers.
Peacock has greenlit a live-action Fast & Furious television series and is targeting a debut sometime in 2028, according to Deadline, as reported by The Drive. The move advances a project the streaming service had announced earlier, but its title, plot, cast and exact release date have not been disclosed.
Deadline reports that Mike Daniels and Wolfe Coleman will write the series, serve as co-showrunners and executive-produce it. The report also names Vin Diesel, Neal Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Chris Morgan and Jeff Kirschenbaum as executive producers. The source material does not identify any performers beyond the reported producing team, nor does it describe the show’s characters or setting.
The project was previously announced by Diesel at NBCUniversal’s Upfront event in New York City in May. According to The Drive’s account, Diesel said at the time that four Fast & Furious shows were planned for Peacock. The current report concerns the first series and gives it a reported 2028 target; it does not confirm a release month or clarify whether the other three projects are moving forward on the same schedule.
Diesel said the television expansion was intended to give fans more stories involving established characters, as in Fast & Furious. That stated aim does not confirm which characters will appear in the series. Peacock has not announced casting, filming dates, episode count or whether the show will connect directly to a particular film.
A Second Screen for the Franchise
A 2028 series would give the franchise a television presence around the time its main film story is scheduled to conclude. The Drive reports that the final movie in the central saga, Fast Forever, is scheduled to premiere on March 17, 2028. If both dates hold, the series and film would put new Fast & Furious releases on Peacock and in theaters during the same year, though no direct story connection has been confirmed.
For Peacock, the show offers a way to continue developing a recognizable film property for streaming audiences. For viewers, a series could make room for stories beyond the feature-film format, but that is a possibility rather than an announced creative plan. Without details about its characters, format or relationship to the films, the scale and intended audience of the project remain unknown.

From May Announcement to Greenlight
The series follows a public announcement at NBCUniversal’s May Upfront, where Diesel described plans to expand the franchise into television. The earlier announcement referred to four shows, according to The Drive, but supplied few details. The latest report adds a greenlight, a projected year and names for the writing and producing team; it does not provide a fuller account of the four-project plan.
The television project is separate from the scheduled conclusion of the main film storyline. The Drive says Fast Forever is set for a March 2028 premiere and that Diesel previously confirmed the return of Brian O’Conner, the character played by the late Paul Walker. That film detail does not establish that the character will appear in the Peacock series.
““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.””
— Vin Diesel, speaking at NBCUniversal’s Upfront event, as quoted by The Drive
Story and Casting Still Undisclosed
Peacock has not disclosed the series’ official title, synopsis, cast, episode count or exact premiere date in the information provided. It is also unclear whether the show will follow characters from the films, introduce a new group, or combine both approaches. Diesel’s comments about expanding legacy characters describe an intention, not a confirmed cast list or plot.
The report does not explain how the television series fits into the franchise timeline, whether it will be released weekly or all at once, or what production milestones are planned. The reported 2028 target is not a scheduled day or month, and no details establish whether the series will arrive before or after Fast Forever. The status and timing of the three other shows mentioned at the May event also remain unspecified.
Awaiting Peacock’s Production Details
The next useful updates would be a formal Peacock announcement with a title, story outline, cast and production schedule. Those details would help establish whether the series is built around familiar film characters or a new part of the franchise. For now, the reported 2028 debut window is the clearest timing information available, with no exact release date confirmed.
Viewers can also look for clarification on the other three television projects referenced by Diesel and on how the show relates, if at all, to Fast Forever. Until Peacock or the production team provides those details, the series’ format and place in the broader franchise remain open.
