Peacock has greenlit a live-action Fast & Furious television series and plans to release it in 2028, according to Deadline, as reported by The Drive. Mike Daniels and Wolfe Coleman are attached as co-showrunners, while Vin Diesel and other franchise figures are reportedly executive producers. The show’s title, cast, story and exact release date have not been announced.
Peacock has greenlit a live-action Fast & Furious series for release in 2028, according to Deadline, as reported by The Drive. Writers Mike Daniels and Wolfe Coleman will serve as co-showrunners and executive producers, while Vin Diesel is among the franchise figures reportedly attached as an executive producer. The project extends the film series to television, but its story, cast and title have not been disclosed.
Deadline reported that the Peacock project has moved from an earlier announcement to a greenlight, a step toward production. The series is expected to begin streaming sometime in 2028; no month or day has been specified. The Drive said the show remains untitled, and the available report does not identify its characters or plot.
Daniels and Coleman are set to write the series and lead it as co-showrunners. The two have also worked as executive producers on other recent television shows for Peacock and its parent company, NBC, according to The Drive. Vin Diesel, Neal Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Chris Morgan and Jeff Kirschenbaum are also reportedly attached as executive producers. The report does not specify which of them will write or direct episodes.
The series follows an earlier public announcement by Diesel at NBCUniversal’s May upfront event in New York City. Diesel said at the event that four Fast & Furious shows were planned for Peacock. The new report concerns the first live-action series, but does not explain whether the other three projects are also moving forward or how they relate to it.
A New Screen Path for the Franchise
The greenlight gives the long-running action franchise a television project at a time when its central film storyline is approaching its stated conclusion. A series could give Peacock room to develop characters and stories over multiple episodes, rather than within a single feature film. That possibility is relevant to fans, but no story details have been confirmed, so it is not yet possible to say which characters or parts of the franchise the show will explore.
The timing also places the planned show in the same year as the scheduled release of Fast Forever, the next and final installment of the main film storyline, according to the source material. If both dates hold, 2028 could mark a handoff from the main movie series to a new television extension. That does not establish that the series will continue the films’ plot, share their central cast, or premiere before or after the movie.
For Peacock, the project adds a high-profile existing entertainment property to its scripted lineup. For viewers, the announcement confirms that the franchise is being developed for television, but it does not yet establish what the viewing experience will look like or when in 2028 it will arrive.

From Peacock Announcement to Greenlight
The project was first discussed publicly earlier in the year. At NBCUniversal’s May upfront event, Diesel said Peacock was looking at four Fast & Furious shows. The initial announcement offered little detail about the projects. The later report from Deadline, relayed by The Drive, adds a greenlight for one live-action series and names its co-showrunners and reported executive producers.
Diesel framed the television effort as a response to audience interest in the franchise’s characters and their stories. The Fast & Furious film saga has run for more than two decades and includes the Hobbs & Shaw spinoff among its feature releases. The source report says the main film storyline is scheduled to end with Fast Forever, set for a March 17, 2028 premiere. The television series is described as a separate extension; no direct plot connection has been announced.
Series Details Still Undisclosed
The report does not give the show’s title, episode count, production schedule, cast or plot. Peacock has not been cited as announcing an exact release date, and the phrase “sometime in 2028” leaves open how the series will fit into the year’s release calendar.
It is also unclear whether characters from the films will appear, whether the series will follow a new group, or whether the show will connect to the events of Fast Forever. Diesel’s May remarks referred to four planned shows, but the report does not confirm the status, formats or timing of the other three. The reported executive-producer attachments should not be taken as confirmation that those individuals will appear on screen.
Production and Release Details Ahead
The next developments to watch for are official announcements from Peacock or NBCUniversal about the series’ title, cast, story and production timetable. Those details would clarify how the show fits within the wider franchise and whether it focuses on familiar film characters or introduces new ones.
For now, the reported target is a 2028 streaming release, while Fast Forever is scheduled for March 17 of that year. Neither date establishes the order in which audiences will see the movie and television series. Until Peacock provides further information, the project’s confirmed public outline remains its greenlight, its reported creative leadership and its planned release year.
