Fast & Furious Movies Officially Exit Streaming Ahead of Franchise Finale

Few action franchises have been around as long and produced as many hits as Fast & Furious, which started as a drag-racing series back in the early 2000s. Fast-forward over 25 years, and now the franchise has become something much more ambitious, with blockbusters going as far as to take cars into space. It’s been over three years since the last Fast & Furious movie, Fast X, was released in theaters, and there are still many months until Fast Forever arrives on the big screen on March 17, 2028. Details about the film are being kept under wraps for now, but with Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, and a host of other stars confirmed to return, it’s expected to be quite the swan song. The film has plenty of hurdles to overcome before it hits the finish line, though.

The Fast & Furious movies have been on several streaming homes over the last few years, but many of the films settled on Netflix during the second half of the year, from earlier classics like 2 Fast 2 Furious and even more recent films like The Fate of the Furious. However, Netflix announced a few weeks ago that the last day to watch the Fast & Furious movies on the streamer was October 31. Newer films, like Fast X, continue to stream on Peacock, where most of Universal’s newer blockbusters migrate to at the end of their theatrical run. Even with older Fast & Furious movies leaving Netflix at the end of October, fans usually don’t have to wait long for the films to show up on another platform, especially given it’s one of the biggest action franchises in the world.

Four people, four completely different ways of being somebody’s family.
Here is your seat at the table, what the rest of them would rely on you for, and the thing you would
have to watch.

You are the head of the table, and you did not ask for the job so
much as end up holding it. Dom is the gravity of this franchise, which is why the films work
best when everybody else is circling around whatever he has decided.

• You define family by who shows up rather than by who is related to you, and you would
  defend that definition against anybody.
• People bring you their problems because you make a decision and then stand behind it,
  which is rarer than it sounds.
• Your weakness is the same as your strength, since holding everybody together means you
  rarely admit when you need holding yourself.
• The franchise finale is currently set for April 2027, and after two decades it is still
  built on exactly this one idea.

You are the one who says the thing out loud and then does not
take it back. Letty is the least sentimental person at that table and somehow the most
loyal, which is a combination almost nobody manages.

• Your friends know exactly where they stand with you, because you have never once
  softened something to make a room more comfortable.
• You give loyalty rarely and completely, and betraying it is the one thing you would find
  genuinely hard to move past.
• Letty is the best driver in the family and the franchise keeps quietly proving it,
  usually while somebody else is making a speech.
• The risk is that people mistake the bluntness for coldness, when it is actually the most
  protective thing about you.

You are the reason anybody remembers the night. Roman talks
first, thinks second and is far more frightened than he lets on, which is precisely what
makes him the most human person in the whole family.

• You use volume and jokes the way other people use armour, and the people who know you
  well worked that out years ago.
• Roman gets the biggest laughs in these films and also the best running gag in the
  series, which is his absolute certainty that he is invincible.
• You would turn up for a friend without hesitating, complain about it the entire time,
  and do it again the following week.
• The thing worth watching is how rarely you let anybody see the version of you that is
  not performing.

You are the one who made the plan work while everybody else was
busy being heroic about it. Tej does not need the credit, which is fortunate, because in
this family the credit tends to go to whoever drove fastest.

• You are the person who reads the whole thing properly, spots the problem nobody
  mentioned, and has already solved it by the time anyone asks.
• Tej and Roman are the best double act in the franchise, and it works because one of them
  is genuinely competent and the other is genuinely loud.
• Your friends take you slightly for granted, mostly because you have made everything you
  do look effortless.
• You would rather be the reason it worked than the reason everybody is talking, which is
  a rare and quietly powerful preference.

Here’s What We Know About the Last Fast & Furious Movie

Vin Diesel has confirmed that the eleventh and final Fast & Furious movie is planning to begin shooting later this year, with production continuing throughout most of 2027 to give the film time to hit its 2028 launch date. He has even said that he went through several writers and iterations of the script before settling on something he was happy enough with to call a satisfying conclusion. There were initial reports that Universal was considering canceling the film if the budget weren’t brought down by over $100 million, but Diesel and the studio have seemingly agreed on a number that works for both parties.

Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Fast Forever, the eleventh and final Fast & Furious movie coming to theaters in 2028.
