Vin Diesel Announces RIDDICK Sequel & A Riddick Universe TV Show

Vin Diesel's upcoming slate already has a xXx sequel, another Fast & Furious sequel, and a Guardians Of The Galaxy sequel on it, but it looks like that wasn't enough for the fan-favorite star.

In an Instagram post from yesterday, Diesel celebrated the launch of One Race Films' television division by announcing a TV series, titled Merc City, which will follow the mercenaries and bounty hunters of the Riddick universe. He didn't share much more, but it's certainly an interesting concept for a series. As an added bonus, he revealed a fourth Chronicles Of Riddick film, titled Furia, is currently in development with David Twohy set to begin work on the script in December. No further details were shared, but judging by the title, there's a relatively good chance the story takes Riddick back to his home planet.

Check out his post below:

Last night Our company had a party to launch Our TV division. Very exciting. MERC CITY is a show that will follow the Mercs and Bounty Hunters of the Riddick Universe. Next Month, DT begins writing the next Chapter in the Chronicles of Riddick... FURIA. #HappyFurianFriday

TheManFromLolliLand - 11/21/2015, 1:24 PM

Cant wait to miss that

GhostDog - 11/21/2015, 1:32 PM

Another film?? Ugh. A TV series sounds interesting if it's on the right home; Netflix maybe? Amazon Prime? FX..

Warcam - 11/21/2015, 1:40 PM

Because the last film was such a success.

PsychoticSpaceRaccoon - 11/21/2015, 1:50 PM

Riddick is a guilty pleasure of mine. None have the movies topped Pitch Black, but I still enjoy them as dumb sci-fi action movies.

LeeroyJenkins - 11/21/2015, 1:53 PM

"it more than doubled it's budget" wow, 98 million is so impressive. ant man is 100x better than any movie in this shitty series

LeeroyJenkins - 11/21/2015, 2:01 PM

ant man almost quadrupled its budget, is that impressive??????

Pathogen - 11/21/2015, 2:19 PM

Yeah...if the TV series is on networks, cw, etc...its gonna suck. Gotta be premium or online channel

BlackPhillip - 11/21/2015, 2:39 PM

It's funny reading Jollem bash Ant-Man, yet he loves some of the most POS movies ever filmed.

DeusExSponge - 11/21/2015, 2:47 PM

Ohhh, that's nice. Hope we get something that's on the same scale of as The Chronicles of Riddick. Loved that movie.
