Universal Pictures and Vin Diesel are advancing development on the next installment in the Fast & Furious saga, titled Fast Forever. The franchise lead offered updates on the project, calling the new screenplay the best script in the history of the film series.

The screenplay was written by Michael Lesslie (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes), who completed a rewrite of an earlier script penned by Aaron Rabin and Zach Dean. The story picks up after the events of Fast X, which grossed $704 million USD globally and ended on a cliffhanger teasing the returns of Gal Gadot and Dwayne Johnson.
