The Fast and Furious Saga is Leaving Netflix US
The Fast and Furious franchise, a global cash cow and a cornerstone of modern action cinema, will be disappearing from the Netflix US library on November 1, 2025. According to Netflix, the removal includes almost the entire legacy of the franchise: The Fast and the Furious (2001), 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003), The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006), Fast Five (2011), Fast & Furious 6 (2013), Furious 7 (2015), and the Dwayne Johnson-led spin-off Hobbs & Shaw (2019). For fans, this means two decades of fast cars, family, jokes, and physical stunts will disappear overnight.
The Impact of the Removal
The loss of the Fast and Furious franchise on Netflix signals how studios are taking back control of their billion-dollar properties. The timing corresponds with the growing strategy of studios to regain their biggest brands. Universal Pictures, which owns the Fast and Furious franchise, has been aggressive in consolidating rights for Peacock and licensing selectively to drive new offers. Streaming subscribers who have casually revisited the saga may have to complete it behind a future paywall elsewhere or purchase it.
The Remaining Titles
About its 11 entries, the Fast and Furious saga has grossed over $7 billion at the US box office, with Furious 7 ($1.51b) and The Fate of the Furious ($1.23b) being the highest-grossing films. While these seven titles will soon leave Netflix, The Fate of the Furious, F9, and Fast X will remain available in selected regions on Netflix. However, all 11 films are also available for rent or purchase on Amazon.
A Last Chance to Watch
If you want to take one last ride with Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), Brian (the late Paul Walker), Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), and Hobbs (Johnson) on Netflix, look to the finish line before November. Fast X: Part 2 is currently underway, with budget problems being addressed. Stay tuned for more updates on the franchise’s future.
Film Details
The first film in the franchise, The Fast and the Furious, was released on June 22, 2001, and has a duration of 106 minutes. It was directed by Rob Cohen and written by David Ayer, Erik Bergquist, and Gary Scott Thompson. The producers of the film were Doug Claybourne and John Pogue.
