The Ultimate Action Franchise Is Speeding Onto Netflix - Buckle Up for 'The Fast And Furious' Movies

Published 08/02/2025, 10:20 PM EDT

Once upon a throttle, Netflix tried to fill the absence of Fast and Furious with every substitute it could park in its garage, 6 Underground gave us Ryan Reynolds and exploding Ferraris, Extraction offered Chris Hemsworth playing human nitroglycerin, and The Gray Man sent Ryan Gosling spinning through Europe like a high-speed IKEA chair. But despite the horsepower, fans felt emotionally under-fueled. The one franchise that made family a combat sport was missing, and viewers were left running on fumes.

 Finally, fans can downshift into joy as The Fast and the Furious franchise is racing to Netflix with full NOS.

Netflix has officially confirmed the arrival of several films from The Fast and the Furious franchise on August 16. Titles include The Fast and the Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Fast Five, Fast & Furious 6, Furious 7, and the spinoff Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. Notably absent are Fast & Furious (2009), The Fate of the Furious (2017), F9: The Fast Saga (2021), and Fast X (2023).

This partial release leaves a noticeable gap in the franchise chronology, especially for viewers seeking to follow Dominic Toretto’s storyline in proper sequence. With Fast Five through Furious 7 available, fans can still witness the shift from street racing to globe-trotting heists. However, the omission of the later entries may require audiences to jump platforms if they hope to finish the full-speed saga.

Spanning over 13 films, The Fast and Furious franchise has a timeline so tangled, even seasoned fans need a roadmap to watch in order.

How to watch the Fast and Furious movies in order?

The Fast and Furious saga unfolds in a nonlinear sequence, beginning with the original film, followed by a short prologue that bridges into 2 Fast 2 Furious. The short film Los Bandoleros sets the stage for the fourth main entry, which then leads directly into Fast Five and Fast & Furious 6. Although released third, Tokyo Drift fits chronologically after Fast & Furious 6 and directly before Furious 7, shifting the story forward both geographically and narratively.

The franchise continues with The Fate of the Furious, followed by the standalone spin-off Hobbs & Shaw, and concludes, for now, with F9 and Fast X. While the short films provide deeper context, they are not required to follow the overarching plot. However, for those seeking the full throttle experience, watching in story order rather than release order delivers a more cohesive ride through Toretto’s world. While people compare My Oxford Year's book to the movie, the Fast and Furious fans wait till it all ends where it began: with loyalty, speed, and family.
