- Vin Diesel posted an Instagram video from the set of "Fast Forever," the 11th and final film in The Fast and the Furious franchise, set for a March 17, 2028 theatrical release.
- Diesel told fans they've "been grinding" for three and a half years to deliver "the most amazing finale," thanking them for patience "to the industry, to the studio and with me."
- Diesel mentioned he's spent the interim working on other projects, including a "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots" film he'll star in and write for Mattel Studios.
- The Fast and the Furious franchise has grossed over $7 billion since 2001, making it Universal's highest-grossing and longest-running franchise.
- "Furious 7" was the top box office performer in the series at $1.5 billion worldwide.
- Universal announced in May that four shows from the Fast & Furious universe are in development at Peacock, with Diesel revealing the expansion at the NBCUniversal upfront.
Why it matters: Universal is doubling down on a franchise that has already grossed over $7 billion across a decade-plus run — extending it to four Peacock shows while Diesel positions the theatrical finale as the capstone of the saga, giving fans both closure on the big screen and new entry points via streaming.
