February 12 Will Be a Fustrating Day for ‘Fast & Furious’ Fans

,................................................

February 12 will be an unfortunate day for Fast & Furious fans… who are also Netflix subscribers. The Netflix streaming service is losing five films in the $7 billion blockbuster franchise on Wednesday, February 12, 2025. These five movies are The Fast and the Furious (2001), 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003), The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006), Fast Five (2011), and Fast & Furious 6 (2013). While two of these Fast & Furious films will be moving over to another popular streamer only a few days later, it still splits the franchise up across multiple streaming platforms, making it more difficult to access the series as a whole.

NBC Universal’s own streaming platform, Peacock, will be adding four Fast & Furious movies on February 15, 2025, two of which will be those coming from Netflix. These four films are Fast Five, Fast & Furious 6, Furious 7 (2015), and the franchise’s only spin-off movie, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019). These titles join F9: the Fast Saga (2021) and Fast X (2023), which are already available to stream on Peacock. Even with these additions, though, this makes for just a little over half of the entire Fast & Furious franchise.

Where to Stream Every Fast & Furious Movie in 2025

Fans would think all eleven films should be available on Peacock, given that Universal is the home studio of everything Fast & Furious. But older and often complicated licensing contracts for each of the movies prevent Universal from holding the whole Fast & Furious franchise on Peacock at all times. These kinds of studio deals have spread out the majority of popular movie franchises across multiple platforms, making the so-called current “streaming era” just as frustrating as it is beneficial at times.

So, on February 15, 2025, Peacock will be the new home for six out of the eleven Fast & Furious movies. More specifically, the one Hobbs & Shaw spin-off film starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jason Statham and the 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, and 10th entries in the main franchise. The 4th movie, Fast & Furious (2009), is the only entry that can be found on the Max streaming service for the time being. This leaves the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 8th films, which don’t have an assigned streaming home yet but can be purchased or rented digitally on all VOD platforms, like Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Fandango at Home, and Google Play Movies & TV.

The Status on Fast X: Part 2

This Fast & Furious streaming news comes at a rough time for fans because there has been little word on the release of what is supposed to be the franchise’s epic grand finale, Fast X: Part 2. As of now, the movie is said to be keeping a March 2026 release date. However, little movement has been seen behind the scenes. Aside from Fast X dividing both critics and fans, as proven by its mild box office performance, production on the final sequel was halted by interference from Dominic Toretto himself, main producer-star Vin Diesel (not to mention a few of his personal controversies).

Previously, creative and work differences with Vin Diesel were cited as the reason why long-time franchise director Justin Lin left Fast X, opening the door for filmmaker Louis Leterrier (The Transporter, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance) to step in. Diesel’s infamous behind-the-scenes feud with co-star Dwayne Johnson has not been addressed either. While Johnson is all but confirmed to be reprising his role as renegade lawman Luke Hobbs in Fast X: Part 2, it appears the two actors have not yet made peace as Diesel had to awkwardly say hi to Johnson while presenting live on stage at the 2025 Golden Globes.

Could There Be 2 More Fast & Furious films?

The last time star Vin Diesel addressed the status of Fast X: Part 2 was in an Instagram post (seen below) from November 28, 2024, aka Thanksgiving Day — the day of family. “I got Universal in one ear saying we need [Fast X: Part 2] by March 2026! I have Comcast in the other ear saying we need two movies to be the finale,” he writes. Then, the actor-producer attempted to reach out to Dwayne Johnson, saying, “We need to see DOM and HOBBS resolve their differences.” It doesn’t seem like this social media post won The Rock over, but at least Diesel promises that “I just want to get back to real street racing, practical stunts.”

The Future of the Fast & Furious Franchise

Franchise star Ludacris, who plays the family’s tech master Tej Parker in the films, recently told EW, “I’m waiting on updates myself” regarding when shooting on the next movie begins. But he did tease it to be “the last installment.” That, of course, could change, according to Vin Diesel. Regardless of whether fans are getting a two-part finale or one more blockbuster film — and whether it’s going to be titled Fast X: Part 2, Fast XI, or Fast 11 — the rest of Dom Toretto’s family are currently expected to return for one more round of coronas. This includes Tyrese Gibson’s Roman Pearce, Michelle Rodriguez’s Letty Ortiz, Jordana Brewster’s Mia Toretto, Sung Kang’s Han Lue, and Nathalie Emmanuel’s Ramsey.

Of course, we can’t forget about Jason Momoa’s villainous Dante Reyes, Charlize Theron’s Cipher, and Gal Gadot’s Gisele Yashar, who is also (surprise) seemingly back from the dead. Finally, Fast & Furious fans who still want more can check out Häagen-Dazs’ Super Bowl 2025 commerical wherein Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez reunite as Dom and Letty riding in his classic black Dodge Charger.
