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.

I'm down. That character is the best thing he does. Like a sci-fi Conan.

If he didn't then he wouldn't be working on these projects.
He views this character the same way Stallone does Rocky. It's a labor of love for him. -

So much story and cool characters could be explored from this. Hopefully this goes on Netflix so it could get an MA rating. -
Just one last [whatever Riddick does].

Yes make it happen

I remember them doing specials on Vin Diesel in 2000. He had so much hype and that triple ? flopped hard. The Rock is starting to become what they were hyping up Vin Disel to be in the early 2000's. This generations action star. Fast and Furious really brought his career back on track.

That Witch Hunter ? was a dud too.
"Just one last [witch something]." -

There is a lot they could do with the planet Furia and dwell into more of what their abilities are.
