The Fast & Furious franchise has announced Fast Forever, the 11th and final mainline installment, with filming set to begin in December, confirmed by Vin Diesel at the 25th anniversary screening. Diesel shared that reading the final script after years of development moved him to tears, underscoring the emotional weight of closing the saga. The film is slated for a March 17, 2028 theatrical release, marking a definitive finale for Universal’s longest-running and most profitable franchise. Directors and collaborators have signaled confidence in the ending, with Louis Leterrier noting there will be a proper conclusion even as he has not yet read the latest draft. The announcements reflect Diesel’s strong personal investment in wrapping Dominic Toretto’s story on a high note, after a lengthy and demanding development process.
