Peacock is launching not one Fast & Furious TV series, not two — but four, franchise star Vin Diesel said Monday at NBCUniversal’s upfront at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Or maybe it is just the one.

“For the last decade, we have realized that the fans have wanted more,” Diesel, sharing the stage with Jimmy Fallon, told the advertisers in attendance. “They wanted us to expand the legacy characters, their stories. And for the last decade, the desire has been for us to enter the TV space.”

“The news that I have here today is that Peacock is launching four shows from the Fast and Furious universe,” Diesel said.

Or is it? A source inside Peacock tells The Hollywood Reporter that only one Fast show is in active development.

Diesel said he had to wait until the timing was right to bring Fast & Furious to series. When Donna Langley added TV oversight to her purview, the timing became right, he explained. Langley, Diesel said, would maintain “the integrity of the characters” and “the international appeal.”

Diesel will executive produce the in-development show along with Sam Vincent, Neal Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Jeff Kirschenbaum and Chris Morgan; Mike Daniels and Wolfe Coleman are its co-showrunners.

The show’s logline simply reads, “More to come…” For those not in the television business, that is not at all a logline. The series will hail from Universal Television.

To-date, the Universal Pictures’ Fast & Furious films have amassed more than $7 billion at the worldwide box office. It is the studio’s “most-profitable” and longest-running franchise, NBCU says. The 11th movie in the franchise, Fast Forever, is set for a 2028 release. The Fast universe is also soon to open its first rollercoaster at Universal Studios.

Also announced on Monday were the 2027 return of BravoCon, a Vanderpump Rules spinoff and the season two renewal of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island. NBC revealed its fall TV schedule as well.
