It became right when Donna Langley started to oversee it all, because that's when I knew that the integrity of the characters, the international appeal, what makes us all feel like family would be protected in the TV space.”"
"During a presentation on Peacock's upcoming programming, Vin Diesel appeared to reveal that four different Fast and Furious TV shows are in the works, though only one is in active development.

At CinemaCon 2023, he announced the new installment will premiere in 2025, but that clearly didn't happen, with the dual strikes cited as the reason for the delay."
