A television series based on the blockbuster “Fast & Furious” movie franchise is being developed for the Peacock streaming service, NBCUniversal said on Monday. Vin Diesel, who plays Dominic Toretto in the films, announced that the series was coming to the small screen at a presentation to advertisers at Radio City Music Hall.
At the event, Diesel said four TV shows were in the works. An NBCUniversal press release distributed later in the day listed only one "Fast & Furious" show in development. The actor said he was initially hesitant to commit to sequels for “Fast & Furious,” fearing that continuing the story about a group of street racers might prevent the original film from ever being considered a classic.
