Following the tenth installment (without counting Hobbs & Shaw) of the Fast & Furious franchise, some were curious about its status, but thankfully, Vin Diesel cleared up the confusion via an update on the upcoming eleventh film. The franchise is undoubtedly one of the biggest action series ever, with ten successful movies, a spin-off (and more to come), and a television series. It has a combined gross of over $7 billion at the box office since the first film, The Fast & the Furious, debuted in 2001 and has been the focus of attractions at amusement parks, toys, video games, and more.

Unfortunately, all good things must end, and the Fast & Furious franchise’s ending is set to manifest in the eleventh movie. At least Fast & Furious 11 will feature the main saga’s conclusion, while spin-offs and stand-alone projects will continue the series. However, while many have had an inkling that the upcoming film would serve as the central timeline’s finale, comments from those involved in the series, Fast X’s ending, and production on the next movie have led some to be confused regarding the franchise’s status. But Diesel, who plays Dom Toretto, finally gave fans a concrete answer regarding the main saga’s ending.

Fast & Furious 11 Is Being Described As The Fast Saga’s Finale

Vin Diesel posted an update on the status of Fast & Furious 11 on Instagram in February 2024, and the caption cleared up confusion regarding the franchise’s conclusion. According to Diesel, the upcoming eleventh film (and twelfth overall installment in the Fast & Furious series) is the “finale” of the central story’s timeline. The actor wrote, “This grand finale is not just an ending; it’s a celebration of the incredible family we’ve built together.”

Of course, already announced spin-offs and stand-alone projects, like Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Reyes, an untitled female-led spin-off, and more, will continue the Fast & Furious franchise without Diesel. But the story featuring Dom, Brian, Letty, Han, and many more that began with The Fast and the Furious in 2001 will conclude almost 24 years later with Fast & Furious 11. So, fans have some time to officially prepare to say goodbye to the series’ beloved characters when the finale debuts in 2025 (barring any delays).
