After 10 Fast & Furious films, the franchise will celebrate its finale in the spring of 2028. Titled Fast Forever, the film will pick up where Fast X left off in 2023.
Taking to Instagram, Vin Diesel wrote about the responsibility of closing the series on the right note.
“There is a particular weight that comes with delivering a finale,” Diesel wrote Thursday on Instagram. “A responsibility you feel in your chest, to everyone who gave something to get here, to the audience that stayed. You don’t take that lightly.
“And you take it as fuel. And when you find out you’re going back to Los Angeles… back to the streets where it all began, something clicks into place,” Diesel continued. “The city that made the first film feel alive, still here, still holding. Coming home to close it out right. That’s not logistics. That’s a gift.”
In early 2026, Michael Lesslie was named the screenwriter for Fast Forever. Lesslie is an acclaimed British playwright and screenwriter who gained significant recognition for penning The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes and the upcoming The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.
Lesslie is also a major figure in the industry for his work on Now You See Me 3 and his reported role in writing Marvel Studios’ upcoming X-Men reboot.
The Fast & Furious franchise has grossed over $7 billion worldwide. Spanning 25 years, the franchise is Universal Pictures’ most profitable asset and the eighth highest-grossing film series in history. The franchise has succeeded by trading its mufflers for missiles, leanly pivoting into high-stakes espionage while anchoring every nitro-boosted stunt in the universal theme of “family.”
By embracing its own absurdity and cultivating a diverse, charismatic cast, the series transformed into a recurring cultural event that defies both the laws of physics and the typical lifespan of a Hollywood property. It doesn’t just break the box office; it drifts through it.
