May 12 (UPI) — Peacock has announced it is working on a TV series based on the Fast & the Furious film franchise.
Vin Diesel, who has starred in 10 F&F films since 2001, will executive produce the show.
The franchise also includes the spin-off movie, Hobbs & Shaw, as well as video games and Universal theme-park rides.
The movies also featured Ludacris, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Jordana Brewster and the late Paul Walker.
Mike Daniels — whose credits include Sons of Anarchy, Shades of Blue and Rockford Files — and Wolfe Coleman — who worked on Shades of Blue — will be co-showrunners.
No casting or premiere date has been announced yet.
Cast member Jordana Brewster attends the premiere of the motion picture crime thriller “Furious 7” at TCL Chinese Theatre in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles on April 1, 2015. Storyline: Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) seeks revenge against Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his family for the death of his brother. Worse, a Somalian terrorist called Jakarde, and a shady government official called “Mr. Nobody” are both competing to steal a computer terrorism program called God’s Eye that can turn any technological device into a weapon.
