The Fast & Furious franchise is preparing for a major expansion beyond the big screen after star and producer Vin Diesel announced that four television spin-offs are in development, as reported by Variety, Movieweb and Newsweek. The projects are intended to expand the stories of legacy characters and keep the franchise growing ahead of its planned cinematic finale, Fast Forever, scheduled for release in 2028.
Diesel revealed the plans during NBCUniversal’s upfront presentation in New York, explaining that fans have long wanted deeper exploration of characters and storylines beyond what the films could offer. While Diesel spoke of four shows in development, industry reports indicate that only one live-action series has been officially confirmed so far for Peacock, with others remaining at various stages of development.
The television expansion marks a significant evolution for one of Hollywood’s most successful action franchises. Since debuting in 2001, The Fast and the Furious and its sequels have generated more than $7 billion at the global box office, transforming a street-racing drama into a worldwide entertainment powerhouse.
Industry analysts say the move mirrors strategies used by major franchises such as Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which have leveraged streaming platforms to extend storytelling and maintain audience engagement between theatrical releases. With Fast Forever expected to conclude the main saga, the new spin-offs could become the next chapter in keeping the franchise alive for a new generation of fans.
