Fans of Vin Diesel’s Riddick will be happy to hear that the actor is bringing the character back for another chapter in the sci-fi adventure called Furia and that there will also be a TV spin-off series! He made the announcement on Instagram:

“Last night our company had a party to launch our TV division. 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.”
DT stands for David Twohy, who is the writer and director of all three of the films in the Riddick franchise - 2000’s Pitch Black, 2004’s The Chronicles of Riddick, and 2013’s Riddick. He also wrote the two animated Riddick shorts, "The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury" and "Riddick: Blindsided."


I’ve enjoyed all of the films in the series, so it’s awesome to hear that we will be getting at least one more sequel. On top of that, we get a spin-off series that centers on the Mercs and Bounty Hunters of the Roddick universe?! That’s so freakin’ cool!

It’s good to see that Diesel is pushing this franchise forward and that the studios are still interested in making these them even though they’ve been moderate successes.
