NBCUniversal has confirmed that a live-action series based on Universal’s Fast & Furious action movie franchise is in development. And not just one but FOUR series, according to franchise star and producer Vin Diesel. He made the announcement on stage at the NBCUniversal upfront presentation Monday morning.
“Peacock is launching four shows in the Fast and the Furious universe,” Diesel said.
According to sources, one of F&F series is set up at Peacock, with more in various stages of development at Universal Television.
Diesel is executive producing the series adaptation. Its pilot will be written by Mike Daniels, who just got an NBC series order for his take on another high-profile title from the NBCUniversal library, The Rockford Files, and Wolfe Coleman. The two previously worked together on the NBC series Shades of Blue.
No details are being provided on the series, which comes from Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group. Diesel and Sam Vincent executive produce via One Race alongside Fast & Furious franchise producer Neal Moritz and Pavun Shetty of Original Film, as well as two other franchise producers, Chris Morgan, who also wrote several of the movies, and Jeff Kirschenbaum.
On stage, Diesel spoke about being protective of the F&F brand, which made him originally turn down doing a sequel to the original movie.
“As you all know, we are very precious about these movies but over the last decade, we’ve realized that the fans have wanted more, they wanted us to expand the legacy characters, their stories,” he said. “And for the last decade, the desire has been for us to enter the TV space.”
Diesel said he came around on the idea after Universal Studios chief Donna Langley also took oversight of NBCUniversal’s TV operation last year.
“That’s when I knew that the integrity of the characters, the international appeal, what makes us all feel like family will be protected in the TV space,” he said.
Diesel, Moritz and Morgan also executive produce an animated Fast & Furious series set at Netflix from DreamWorks Animation.
The Fast & Furious movie series marks its 25th anniversary this year with a special screening of the original film at the Cannes Film Festival, which Diesel and Moritz will be attending. Over the course of eleven films to date, the franchise has earned more than $7 billion at the worldwide box office. The final F&F chapter, Fast Forever, will be released March 17, 2028.
Nickelodeon and Spin Master Entertainment have announced that they are renewing global preschool hit PAW Patrol® and its hit spinoff Rubble & Crew™ for additional episode cycles.

PAW Patrol currently ranks as the #1 preschool series on all TV year-to-date with premieres among Kids 2-5. PAW Patrol is also the #1 cross-platform preschool franchise in year-to-date among Kids 2-5, generating over 8 billion minutes viewed.*

Fans can stream the Paramount+ PAW Patrol PAWsome collection, featuring multiple seasons, blockbuster hits PAW Patrol: The Movie and PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie, the hit spinoff Rubble & Crew, and fan-favorite specials, including the new high-octane PAW Patrol: Air Rescue compilation, where Ryder and the pups suit up for a high-flying, action-packed rescue adventure on the ground and in the sky.
PAW Patrol and Rubble & Crew represent a powerhouse in kids’ streaming music, with PAW Patrol alone exceeding 10M weekly streams across all platforms and its platinum-certified theme song surpassing 655M global streams. The 2026 pipeline includes 20+ new releases for the franchise, with music that consistently debuts among the Top 3 new Kids music releases on Spotify and Apple Music.
In seasons 14 and 15, the PAW Patrol is on a roll with adventures that take the pups from the prehistoric wilds of Dinosaur Island to the rock-climbing heights of Rescue Mountain. Along the way, they’ll team up with new friends--from a speedy racing pooch to the legendary Abominable Snow Pup--proving that for this team, no job is too big, no pup is too small!
In the upcoming fifth and sixth seasons of Rubble & Crew, fans will strap on safety gear and get ready for demolition, as Builder Cove’s construction heroes become the Wrecking Crew, moving from construction to destruction. They’re not putting things up--they’re smashing, bashing, and crashing things down.
This summer will also see the PAW Patrol pups bound back onto the big screen in their third theatrical adventure, in theatres Friday, August 14. In PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie, directed by Cal Brunker, after their ship gets caught in a mysterious storm, the PAW Patrol pups crash land on an uncharted tropical island filled with dinosaurs. They meet Rex, a pup who has been stranded on the island for years and has become an expert in all things dino-related. When the PAW Patrol's archrival, Mayor Humdinger, begins recklessly mining in hopes of exploiting the island for its natural resources, he inadvertently causes a huge, dormant volcano to erupt. The PAW Patrol pups are thrown into a series of high-stakes, dino-sized rescues bigger than anything they've done before, as they must stop Humdinger before everything on the island goes extinct.
The PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie voice cast includes Carter Young, Mckenna Grace, Terry Crews, Meredith MacNeill, Ron Pardo, Jennifer Hudson, Hayden Chemberlen, Fortune Feimster, Jameela Jamil, Rain Janjua, Bill Nye, Paris Hilton, Lucien Duncan-Reid, William Desrosiers, Nylan Parthipan, and Snoop Dogg, and introduces Henry Bolan.

Britney technically made her first South Park appearance in the episode, "The Succubus", the optometrist shows Eric Cartman a picture of Spears and a picture of Carmen Electra and asks him to say which one looks better. Cartman selected Electra over Spears. Spears was next seen in the episode, "Christian Rock Hard" as one of the artists supporting the strike against illegal music downloading. Due to illegal downloading, Britney found herself unable to purchase a private plane with a remote control system, and the loss was apparently devastating for her.
Britney's most prominent role however was in "Britney's New Look". Due to years of abuse from the tabloid media, Spears attempts to hide in South Park and recover. However, after footage is shot of her peeing on a ladybug, she slowly starts to lose grip on herself, feeling at a loss for why everyone wants to hate her so much. She is finally pushed over the edge by the Boys who try and force her to take a picture of her pooping on a squirrel.
She offers them an alternative picture and proceeds to shoot her own head off with a shotgun. She survives, though the top of her head is missing, and Stan Marsh and Kyle Broflovski offer to help her any way that they can. To their bewilderment, however, Britney's manager forces her to make another record and perform at the MTV music awards, where Britney is continued to be insulted and ridiculed by the world following a poor live performance (which was primarily caused her disfigurement). Hating to see Britney so broken down, Stan and Kyle try and escort her to the North Pole in the hopes of getting her away from the media. However, they are chased down into an empty field where it seems everyone has gathered so as to finally finish off Spears.
It is revealed that the entire population has intentionally built-up Spears as an icon, so as to sacrifice her for good corn harvest. However, unlike in the early days where they killed the sacrifice themselves, they instead use the media to push the girl over the edge and thus end her own life. They then proceed to take photos of her until at last she dies. A poster featuring Spears appears at a ticket booth in the episode, "The Ring", showing her with the top of her head again, although this may just be a poster for a past concert. Britney, however, is shown to be alive again (although still missing the top of her head), as a background character in the episode "200", in which she joins with other celebrities to get revenge on South Park for all the mocking and abuse they suffered.

### Sinopsis vir Op 'n Afgrond
Die verhaal skop af met die aankoms van 'n tweeling, **Nuh en Melek**, in Kappadosië. Hulle is op soek na die moeder wat hulle jare gelede verlaat het—**Sumru**.
Sumru het intussen 'n nuwe, ryk lewe opgebou as die matriarg van die Şansalan-familie. Sy hou haar eerste kinders egter 'n totale geheim vir haar man en haar huidige sosiale kring.
Wanneer Nuh en Melek haar opspoor, is hulle nie bloot op soek na 'n herontmoeting nie; hulle word gedryf deur die pyn van verwerping. Hul teenwoordigheid dreig om die "perfekte" fasade wat Sumru so sorgvuldig opgebou het, te vernietig.
Soos wat die tweeling die Şansalan-wêreld binnedring, raak hulle verstrengel met Sumru se ander kinders en sakevennote. Dit skep 'n web van verbode romanse en hoë-risiko wedywering, veral waar karakters soos Cihan en Sevilay betrokke is.

Premiere episodes of Maanligsprokie air on e.tv from Mondays to Fridays at 16h00.
Casper the Friendly Ghost made his theatrical debut in I. Sparber's 1945 short "The Friendly Ghost," released by Famous Studios. The gimmick of the short was that a boy-like apparition named Casper, feeling lonely and wanting friends, would causally approach animals and adults to introduce himself only to see them flee in terror. He is, after all, a ghost. Only open-minded children could see that Casper wasn't a threat and befriend him.
The success of "The Friendly Ghost" led to 54 additional Famous Studios Casper shorts that lasted through 1959. Casper also began starring in a series of Harvey Comics in 1951, and the character's mythos expanded greatly. He soon became friends with a witch named Wendy and was bullied by some baddies called the Ghostly Trio. The comics and shorts also spawned multiple TV shows to feature the Friendly Ghost, mostly in the 1960s and 1970s, and his popularity was retained throughout the 1980s through incessant reruns. In 1995, Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment released a big-budget, high-profile, live-action "Casper" movie, directed by Brad Silberling, which realized the Friendly Ghost in CGI. The $55 million film earned an impressive $288 million at the box office and left a deep mark on kids who saw it.
The 1995 "Casper" movie was the first time Casper's ghostliness was addressed directly. Casper, after all, had to die to become a Friendly Ghost, and audiences finally had to note that this was actually the story of Casper the Little Dead Boy. In a brief moment at the end of the film, Casper is resurrected, played by actor Devon Sawa.
This begs the very practical question: how did Casper die? What tragedy befell the young Casper McFadden that he was killed and left on the Earthly plane as a spirit?
What was the sad fate of Casper the Little Dead Boy?
In Silberling's film, a young girl named Kat (Christina Ricci) and her psychologist father Dr. Harvey (Bill Pullman) move into the haunted house where Casper (Malachi Pearson) and the Ghostly Trio (Brad Garrett, Joe Alaskey, and Joe Nipote) hang out. Throughout the film, Kat becomes friends with Casper, and the Ghostly Trio plays a prank on Dr. Harvey ... by telling him they have access to his dead wife. Casper eventually reveals that he caught pneumonia and died after playing in the snow.
Casper returned as a ghost, however, and began to haunt his own father, a mad scientist named J.T. McFadden. Dr. McFadden invented a machine to transform his ghostly son back into a mortal being after being tormented by visions of his dead son's spirit. McFadden would have used his Lazarus machine, but he was declared insane and committed to an asylum before he had a chance. Because Casper is a ghost, he can't remember all the details of his life.
And the story bears a note of tragedy beyond Casper's mere death. It seems the reason Casper was out in the cold catching pneumonia is because his father bought him a brand-new sled, and Casper loved it so much, that he rode it all day and into the night. His father was indirectly responsible for his son's illness.
The 1995 film was the first time Casper's death was explicitly mentioned. In previous Harvey Comics, Casper was never alive, having been born to a ghost mother and a ghost father. The fact that ghosts can breed is a theological can of worms we're not going to open here. The 1995 film was also the first time Casper the Little Dead Boy was given a last name. Up until then, Casper was just known as The Friendly Ghost.
Other theories about Casper's death
Prior to 1995, there were theories — openly perpetuated by "The Simpsons" creator Matt Groening — that Casper was actually the ghost of Richie Rich, another character published by Harvey Comics. When one looks at drawings of Casper and Richie side-by-side, one will note that they have similar head and body proportions, as well as the same large eyes. Both Casper and Richie also live in enormous mansions. Groening felt that Richie Rich died as a child, and his spirit remained in his mansion in perpetuity. "Perhaps he realized how hollow the pursuit of money really is and took his own life," Lisa Simpson once posited. Because ghosts have faulty memories, Richie started going by the name Casper.
Some have taken the Casper/Richie story one step further by suggesting that Richie Rich's parents fell upon hard times and had to murder their child for the insurance money. Casper, in that case, would have returned from the grave as a vengeful spirit.
Of course, Casper and Richie Rich did occasionally meet one another in cross-over comics from Harvey, so that theory doesn't hold a lot of water (or ectoplasm, as the case may be). It also doesn't jive with the 1959 short "Casper's Birthday Party" wherein audiences met Casper's ghostly parents. Either Casper and his family all died together (which is possible), or Casper lives in a universe of mating ghosts (also possible, though disturbing to ponder). Or perhaps Casper revenge-killed them, and all three lost their memories of the murder and began living together again in ghostly familial bliss (definitely also possible).
