What’s the Latest Fast and Furious? Everything You Need to Know

The Fast and Furious franchise (the “Fast Saga”) has evolved from simple street racing in Los Angeles to a global blockbuster phenomenon involving international espionage, space travel, and high-stakes heists. If you are trying to catch up on the latest high-octane adventures of Dominic Toretto and his “family,” here is the current state of the franchise.

1. The Latest Released Movie: Fast X (2023)

The most recent film to hit theaters was Fast X, released in May 2023.

• The Plot: Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his family are targeted by Dante Reyes (played by Jason Momoa), the son of the Brazilian drug lord Hernan Reyes (the villain from Fast Five). Dante is arguably the most sadistic villain the crew has ever faced, seeking revenge by dismantling Dom’s family piece by piece.
• The Cliffhanger: Unlike previous entries, Fast X ends on a massive cliffhanger. Several characters’ lives are left hanging in the balance, and the story is deliberately left unfinished to set up the grand finale.

2. The Next Chapter: Fast X: Part 2 (Fast 11)

The direct sequel to Fast X is currently in development. Here is what we know about the next installment:

• Release Date: Director Louis Leterrier recently indicated that the film is eyeing a 2026 release. While it was originally targeted for 2025, the Hollywood strikes in 2023 delayed production.
• The Story: It will pick up exactly where Fast X left off. Vin Diesel has shared concept art on social media, hinting at a “back to basics” approach that may return the focus to more grounded racing elements while resolving the war with Dante.
• Is it the end? For a long time, Fast 11 was billed as the final film. However, Vin Diesel has teased that the finale could potentially be a trilogy, though a 12th film has not been officially confirmed by Universal Pictures.

3. The Return of Luke Hobbs

One of the biggest “latest” developments is the return of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Despite a long-standing public feud with Vin Diesel, Johnson appeared in the post-credits scene of Fast X.

• Hobbs & Reyes: It has been confirmed that Dwayne Johnson will star in a new standalone film titled (tentatively) Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Reyes.
• The Purpose: This is not Hobbs & Shaw 2, but rather a bridge movie that connects the events of Fast X to Fast 11. It will feature a showdown between Hobbs and Dante Reyes.

4. Where to Watch the Latest Films

• Fast X: Is currently available to stream on Peacock (in the US) and is available for purchase/rent on platforms like Amazon Prime, Apple TV, and Vudu.
• The Rest of the Saga: Most of the previous nine films rotate between streaming services like Netflix, Max, and Peacock depending on current licensing deals.

Summary: What should you watch right now?

If you want to be up to date, you should watch Fast X. Once the credits roll, you will be caught up with the current timeline. From there, your next wait will be for the Hobbs & Reyes spinoff, followed by the definitive conclusion in Fast 11 in 2026.
