Peacock adds Fast & Furious to its franchise pipeline

Peacock is using a recognizable film franchise to build out its streaming slate, rather than relying only on original IP. The move ties a theatrical property to a television format on a major streaming platform, which can matter for subscriber acquisition and retention if the series gains traction. It also shows how streamers continue to mine established franchises for TV extensions. Watch for Peacock to share the series format, creative team, and release timing, since none of those details were included in the announcement.
