Alan Ritchson’s $716M Action Blockbuster Returns to the Charts Amid TV Show Announcement

by

Viewers are driving strong digital sales for the newest Fast X movie, pushing it up the charts for premium video on demand. This boost in popularity follows the announcement that a TV show featuring Vin Diesel is in development.

According to data from FlixPatrol, the film has become a hit on Vudu in the United States, reaching the #10 spot as of May 15, 2026. It’s also doing well on the Apple TV Store globally, particularly in Niger, where it’s consistently ranked at the top. The film is also performing strongly on PVOD platforms in countries like Belgium, Canada, Estonia, Ghana, Mozambique, and the Philippines.

The movie Fast X, released in 2023, received a mixed reaction from critics. With the recent announcement from NBCUniversal that the franchise is expanding into television, many fans are now discovering or revisiting the film. This news was revealed just a few days ago during the network’s annual presentation.

Fast X Climbs the Charts After Vin Diesel’s Surprise Fast & Furious TV Announcement

I was so excited to see Vin Diesel at the TV upfronts! He announced some incredible news for fans like me – apparently, Peacock is releasing four new shows based in the Fast & Furious world! It’s going to be amazing to explore that universe even further.

Okay, so here’s the buzz: one of the new live-action series based on this property is heading straight to Peacock – that’s exciting! The other three are still being developed over at Universal Television. Vin Diesel is stepping into an executive producer role, which makes sense given his connection to the source material, and Mike Daniels is on board to write the first episode. Right now, though, details are pretty tight-lipped; we don’t even know what the series is called yet. Stay tuned, because I’ll be watching closely for more news!

It’s still unclear whether any of the many actors from the Fast & Furious series will show up in the new shows. For those who enjoyed Fast X, some actors seem more likely to appear than others.

Ritchson and Momoa both appear in the newest film, with Ritchson playing Aimes, the new head of Mr. Nobody’s organization. Momoa portrays Dante Reyes, the son of a drug kingpin who’s out for revenge against Dom and his team for his father’s death and the financial ruin of his family, events that began in the movie Fast Five back in 2011.

While Fast X earned $714.4 million, it didn’t make a profit and received negative reviews for its script. However, Joe Ritchson and Jason Momoa were consistently praised by critics and viewers. As the Fast & Furious saga moves to TV, audiences will probably want to see more of these popular characters.

Diesel Teases Fast & Furious TV Spin-offs as Final Film Eyes 2028 Release

The popular Fast & Furious movies are expanding to television, and the film series itself is planned to conclude in 2028. While an eleventh movie is currently scheduled for release on March 17, 2028, its production has faced challenges with delays, setbacks, and budget limitations in recent years.

A move to television could be exactly what the franchise needs to excite fans again, and it might even allow for a more cost-effective approach. Vin Diesel explained that they’ve heard fans’ requests for expanded storylines and deeper dives into the beloved characters, and that entering the TV world is something they’ve been considering for the past ten years.

You can now buy Fast X digitally on all major platforms. We’ll have more news about the Fast & Furious TV series in the coming months.
