Vin Diesel Announces New Riddick Film Furia and TV Spinoff Merc City

Sure, we all love the Fast and Furious movies, but the Riddick films crafted by Vin Diesel and David Twohy are a bit more in line with horror fans’ sensibilities, which is why this latest news has us pretty excited.

Yesterday Diesel revealed on Instagram:

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

“DT” obviously refers to Twohy, and as people who have seen the existing trilogy, which began in 2000 with Pitch Black, are aware, Diesel’s character hails from the planet “Furya.” We’re not sure if they’ve changed the spelling or if “Furia” is a mistake.  Either way, things should be getting interesting.

We’ll keep our eyes and ears open for more details as they come.
