The Fast & Furious franchise is one of the biggest and most enduring action sagas in cinematic history, constantly evolving from its street racing roots into a globe-trotting espionage and heist series. As of today, December 18, 2025, the core question of "how many movies are there?" has a surprisingly complex answer, depending on whether you count the main installments, the blockbuster spin-off, or other short films that complete the narrative.
The simplest answer is that there are currently 10 main feature films in the core Fast Saga, with an 11th and final installment on the horizon. However, to truly understand the full scope of the high-octane universe built around Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his 'family,' you must include the successful spin-offs, bringing the total count of theatrical releases to 11 and the overall saga entries even higher.
The Definitive Count: How Many Fast & Furious Movies Are There?
The total number of feature-length films in the Fast & Furious universe is 11, which includes the ten main saga entries and one theatrical spin-off. This count does not include the short films or the animated series, which are also part of the official canon.
Here is the breakdown of the official theatrical releases:
- The Main Saga Films: 10 movies (from The Fast and the Furious to Fast X).
- The Theatrical Spin-off Films: 1 movie (Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw).
- Total Feature Films: 11.
This long-running series, which began in 2001, has seen the core themes shift dramatically, moving from illegal street racing to massive, physics-defying global heists and espionage. The evolution of the franchise is what has allowed it to maintain topical authority and continuously introduce new, powerful entities like Cipher (Charlize Theron) and Dante Reyes (Jason Momoa).
The Complete Fast Saga: All 11 Theatrical Films in Release Order
While watching the films in chronological order can be confusing due to the placement of Tokyo Drift, the best way to experience the saga for the first time is by release date. This list includes all 10 main films and the one spin-off, giving you the complete theatrical experience.
- The Fast and the Furious (2001): Introduced Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker), establishing the foundation of the 'family' concept and the street racing world.
- 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003): Brian O'Conner teams up with Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson) and Tej Parker (Ludacris) in Miami.
- The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006): A standalone film that introduced Han Lue (Sung Kang). Chronologically, this film takes place between Fast & Furious 6 and Furious 7.
- Fast & Furious (2009): The first official reunion of Dom, Brian, Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez), and Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster). This film set the stage for the saga's shift towards bigger action.
- Fast Five (2011): The pivotal entry that redefined the franchise, moving it away from street racing and into large-scale heists. It also introduced Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson).
- Fast & Furious 6 (2013): The crew hunts down Owen Shaw (Luke Evans) and secures Letty's return. The post-credits scene sets up the events of *Tokyo Drift*.
- Furious 7 (2015): The crew faces Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), seeking vengeance for his brother. This film is notable for being Paul Walker's final performance, concluding with an emotional tribute.
- The Fate of the Furious (2017): Dom is blackmailed into working for the cyber-terrorist Cipher, turning against his family.
- Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019): The first official spin-off, featuring an unlikely pairing of Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw. This film expanded the universe significantly.
- F9: The Fast Saga (2021): Dom confronts his estranged younger brother, Jakob Toretto (John Cena), and the action literally goes to space.
- Fast X (2023): The beginning of the final chapter, introducing Dante Reyes (Jason Momoa), the son of the drug lord from *Fast Five*, seeking revenge on a global scale.
The Extended Fast & Furious Universe (Non-Theatrical)
For the true fan seeking maximum topical authority, the following entries are essential for a complete timeline:
- Turbo-Charged Prelude (2003): A six-minute short film bridging the gap between The Fast and the Furious and 2 Fast 2 Furious.
- Los Bandoleros (2009): A 20-minute short film directed by Vin Diesel that serves as a prequel to Fast & Furious (2009), detailing Dom's life and the return of Letty.
- Fast & Furious Spy Racers (2019–2021): A six-season animated series on Netflix centered on Dom's cousin, Tony Toretto. This is considered canon within the Fast Saga.
- Better Luck Tomorrow (2002): While not explicitly a Fast & Furious film, it features Han Lue (Sung Kang) and is often cited by fans as a spiritual prequel to Tokyo Drift.
The Road Ahead: Fast X: Part 2 and Future Spin-offs
The Fast Saga is heading toward its grand finale, which was originally planned as a two-part conclusion with Fast X and Fast X: Part 2 (often referred to as Fast 11). However, recent updates have introduced some uncertainty and a significant delay for the final chapter.
Fast X: Part 2 (Fast 11) Release Date Update
The eleventh main installment, Fast X: Part 2, has faced multiple delays and is no longer expected to hit theaters in 2025 or 2026. The initial April 2025 release date was postponed, and the lack of movement on filming has caused further delays.
The most recent and specific update came from Vin Diesel himself, who hinted at a target release date of April 2027 for the final chapter of the main saga. This long wait suggests the studio is taking its time to craft a fitting conclusion to the story of Dominic Toretto and his crew, which may even see a return of Paul Walker’s character, Brian O'Conner, in some capacity.
Potential Spin-offs and Franchise Expansion
While the main saga is concluding, the Fast universe is set to continue expanding with various spin-offs:
- Hobbs Sequel: After the success of Hobbs & Shaw, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson confirmed that a new, standalone Hobbs film is in development. This film is intended to bridge the gap between Fast X and Fast X: Part 2, setting up the final confrontation.
- Female-Led Spin-off: There have been long-standing discussions and development for a female-led spin-off, potentially featuring key characters like Letty Ortiz, Mia Toretto, and Cipher.
- Young Dominic Toretto TV Show: Universal has secretly developed several TV show concepts, including one focusing on a young Dominic Toretto, further cementing the franchise's global scale and lore.
In summary, the Fast & Furious franchise is a sprawling, multi-media entity. While there are 11 theatrical feature films available now, the saga is far from over, with the highly anticipated Fast X: Part 2 and several new spin-off projects ensuring the nitrous-fueled action will continue for years to come.
