Peacock Greenlights Toretto-Produced Series Ahead of Fast & Furious 11

While waiting for Fast & Furious 11, Peacock has given the official go-ahead to a new series. This show is slated for release in 2028, the same year the franchise's final film is set to debut. Vin Diesel is attached as an executive producer.

Diesel stated that the studio recognized fans' desire for more stories centered on the legacy characters, leading to the expansion into television.

Mike Daniels and Wolfe Coleman are writing the pilot episode. Daniels, known for his work on action series like Sons of Anarchy and Pan Am, is also penning a remake of The Rockford Files, a show featuring numerous car chases. Daniels and Coleman previously collaborated on Shades of Blue.

Diesel revealed his conditions for concluding the franchise: bringing it back to Los Angeles, returning to car culture and street racing, and reuniting Dom and Brian O'Conner. The mention of O'Conner, famously played by the late Paul Walker, suggests a potential use of AI to bring the character back.

Further details on other planned Fast & Furious spin-off series have not been released, but Diesel indicated they will explore the backstories of classic franchise characters.

English Translation:

While waiting for Fast & Furious 11, Peacock has officially given the green light to a series produced by Toretto. It was already known that the Fast & Furious saga planned four television series with Vin Diesel as executive producer. According to Deadline, Peacock has now officially ordered a series for 2028, the same year the franchise's final film will also be released. Fast & Furious 11 will be titled Fast Forever and is scheduled to premiere on March 17, 2028.

Diesel will serve as executive producer for the television adaptation, with Mike Daniels and Wolfe Coleman writing the pilot episode. Daniels previously worked on action series like Sons of Anarchy and Pan Am and is currently writing and producing a remake of The Rockford Files, a series that included numerous chases and driving sequences. Daniels and Coleman collaborated on Shades of Blue, a three-season series starring Jennifer Lopez and Ray Liotta about a New York City police detective who goes undercover to expose her corrupt colleagues.

Diesel stated, "The studio said to me, 'Vin, can we have the end of Fast & Furious in April 2027?' I said, 'With three conditions.' The first, bring the franchise back to Los Angeles! The second, return to car culture, to street racing! The third, reunite Dom and Brian O’Conner." Given that the late Paul Walker portrayed Brian O'Conner, Diesel may be suggesting the use of AI to bring the deceased actor and his iconic character back to the franchise.

No further details about the Fast & Furious television spin-offs have been announced, but Diesel hinted that the series will expand on the stories of the franchise's classic characters.
