The Fast & Furious franchise has cemented its place as one of the world's most successful action sagas, cultivating an immense global fanbase. Audiences consistently turn out to witness stars like Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, and Jason Statham in high-octane vehicular combat and elaborate stunts. Launched in 2001 by Vin Diesel alongside Paul Walker, the series initially focused on racing but has evolved into more extravagant, action-packed narratives, exemplified by the 2023 blockbuster Fast X, which featured characters venturing into space with a production cost of $350 million.

While Vin Diesel and Universal have confirmed that the main saga will conclude with Fast Forever, scheduled for release on March 17, 2028, the broader Fast & Furious story is far from over. This eleventh and final film in the main series is expected to begin production this summer. Louis Leterrier is directing Fast Forever from a script by Christina Hodson and Michael Lesslie. Most original cast members are anticipated to return, including Dwayne Johnson as Luke Hobbs and Jason Statham as Deckard Shaw, marking their return to the main franchise after their 2019 spin-off, Hobbs & Shaw.

Further expanding the universe, Vin Diesel announced at an NBCUniversal upfront presentation that several Fast & Furious TV shows are in development at Peacock. Diesel initially stated that four shows were in the works, although an individual familiar with the situation confirmed that one official series is currently in active development, with others in various stages at Universal TV. While Diesel is not expected to star in these series, he will serve as an executive producer and may make future cameo appearances.

The pilot for the primary series is being penned by Mike Daniels, who is also serving as co-showrunner alongside Wolfe Coleman. Additional executive producers include Sam Vincent (One Race), Neal Moritz and Pavun Shetty (Original Film), Jeff Kirschenbaum, and Chris Morgan, with Universal Television producing. Specific plot details and release windows for the new Peacock series remain under wraps, though they are unlikely to air before the theatrical release of Fast Forever in 2028.

This venture into television is not the franchise's first; Netflix previously hosted the animated series Fast & Furious Spy Racers for six seasons between 2019 and 2021. With eleven films already released, the Fast & Furious franchise has collectively grossed over $7 billion worldwide. The original 2001 film, which kicked off this immense legacy, is set to be celebrated with a midnight screening at the Cannes Film Festival on May 13 for its 25th anniversary.
