The Fast & Furious franchise has evolved from a simple street racing movie in 2001 into one of the biggest, most globally successful action sagas in cinematic history. As of today, December 18, 2025, the core question of "How many Fast & Furious movies are there?" has a surprisingly complex answer, depending on whether you count just the main "Fast Saga" or the expanding universe of spin-offs and short films.
The definitive count of major theatrical releases in the shared universe currently stands at 11 films, with the next installment, the highly anticipated conclusion to the main saga, officially slated for a 2027 release. This detailed breakdown will separate the main series from the spin-offs and give you the latest updates on the franchise's explosive future, including the massive delay for *Fast X: Part 2*.
The Complete Fast Saga: 10 Mainline Films (And Counting)
The core narrative of the franchise, centered on Dominic "Dom" Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his crew—which he famously calls "family"—consists of ten major films. These films have taken the crew from the streets of Los Angeles to international heists, espionage, and even outer space, defying gravity and logic at every turn. The current count of 10 mainline films culminates with the two-part finale that began with *Fast X*.
Here is the complete list of the main Fast Saga films in their release order, which is the easiest way to watch them, though not the chronological order:
- 1. The Fast and the Furious (2001): The film that started it all, introducing Dominic Toretto and Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker).
- 2. 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003): A sequel focused on Brian O'Conner in Miami, without Vin Diesel.
- 3. The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006): A soft reboot that introduced Han Lue (Sung Kang) and Sean Boswell (Lucas Black). Chronologically, this film is set much later in the timeline, between *Fast & Furious 6* and *Furious 7*.
- 4. Fast & Furious (2009): The film that reunited Dom and Brian, officially relaunching the franchise.
- 5. Fast Five (2011): The critical pivot point, shifting the series from street racing to global heist action and introducing Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson).
- 6. Fast & Furious 6 (2013): The film that tied the entire saga together, bringing back Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez) and leading into the *Tokyo Drift* timeline.
- 7. Furious 7 (2015): The emotional farewell to Paul Walker, introducing Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) and featuring the iconic "flying cars" sequence.
- 8. The Fate of the Furious (2017): Also known as *F8*, this film introduced the villain Cipher (Charlize Theron) and further expanded the crew's global reach.
- 9. F9: The Fast Saga (2021): Also known as *F9*, which explored Dom's backstory by introducing his brother Jakob Toretto (John Cena) and famously sent a car into space.
- 10. Fast X (2023): The first part of the franchise's two-part finale, introducing the terrifying new villain Dante Reyes (Jason Momoa), the son of *Fast Five's* villain Hernan Reyes.
If you only count the main series, the answer to the question is currently 10 films.
The Expanded Fast & Furious Universe: Spin-offs and Shorts
To get the true number of theatrical releases in the *Fast & Furious* universe, you must include the first major spin-off, which took two key characters out of the main crew and gave them their own adventure. This is where the total count reaches 11 films.
Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)
This was the first major spin-off film, pairing the formidable lawman Luke Hobbs (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) with the former antagonist Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham). The film introduced Shaw's sister, Hattie Shaw (Vanessa Kirby), and the genetically enhanced villain Brixton Lore (Idris Elba). It was a massive box office success, confirming the franchise's ability to expand beyond the Toretto family.
In addition to the 11 major theatrical films, the franchise includes several short films that bridge the gaps between the main installments, such as:
- Turbo-Charged Prelude (2003): A short film detailing Brian O'Conner's journey between *The Fast and the Furious* and *2 Fast 2 Furious*.
- Los Bandoleros (2009): A short film directed by Vin Diesel that sets up the events of *Fast & Furious* (2009), showing Dom's return to the Dominican Republic.
The Future of the Fast Saga: Fast X Part 2 and New Spin-offs
The future of the *Fast & Furious* franchise is arguably the most talked-about topic among fans, and the latest news has significantly changed the timeline. The main saga is set to conclude with a two-part finale, with *Fast X* being the first part.
The Final Chapter: Fast X: Part 2 (Fast & Furious 11)
The sequel, tentatively titled *Fast X: Part 2* (or *Fast & Furious 11*), was originally announced by Vin Diesel to be released in 2025. However, due to various production delays, including the Hollywood strikes, the release date has been pushed back significantly. The film, directed by Louis Leterrier, is now officially slated for an April 2027 release date. This is a massive two-year delay from the initial target, but it promises to be the grand finale that fans expect.
While the official title remains *Fast X: Part 2*, Vin Diesel has previously hinted at the title *Fast Forever*, suggesting an emotional and definitive conclusion to the story of Dom Toretto and his family. The film is expected to pick up immediately after the cliffhanger ending of *Fast X*, with the returning cast of Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson (Roman Pearce), Chris "Ludacris" Bridges (Tej Parker), Nathalie Emmanuel (Ramsey), and Jordana Brewster (Mia Toretto).
Confirmed Spin-offs Expanding the Universe
Even after the main saga concludes with *Fast X: Part 2* in 2027, the *Fast* universe will continue to expand with new spin-offs, increasing the total count of films in the near future and ensuring the franchise's topical authority.
1. The Hobbs Sequel (*Hobbs & Reyes* Rumored)
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is set to return as Luke Hobbs in a new standalone film that will bridge the gap between *Fast X* and *Fast X: Part 2*. This film is rumored to be titled *Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Reyes*, and will reportedly feature Jason Momoa reprising his role as Dante Reyes. This movie is a direct result of the reconciliation between Vin Diesel and Johnson, ensuring Hobbs's role in the final chapter is fully integrated.
2. The Female-Led Spin-off
A long-discussed female-led spin-off is officially in development. Vin Diesel has confirmed that the project is moving forward, with writer Nicole Perlman (known for *Guardians of the Galaxy*) previously attached to the script. The film is expected to feature key female characters from the franchise, such as Michelle Rodriguez's Letty Ortiz, Jordana Brewster's Mia Toretto, Charlize Theron's Cipher, and Nathalie Emmanuel's Ramsey, offering a new perspective on the high-octane world of the *Fast Saga*.
Conclusion: The Definitive Count and Future
So, to answer the initial question: There are currently 11 major theatrical Fast & Furious movies released as of late 2025 (10 main saga films and one spin-off, *Hobbs & Shaw*). The franchise is set to grow to 12 major films with the release of the main saga's finale, *Fast X: Part 2* (or *Fast & Furious 11*), which is now scheduled for April 2027.
The total count will continue to rise as the confirmed *Hobbs* sequel and the female-led spin-off move from development into production. For fans of the adrenaline-fueled action, the "family" is expanding, and the journey is far from over.
