‘Fast & Furious’ 12 May Return Franchise To Its LA Roots
The ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise might return to its origins in ‘Fast & Furious 12‘, as the studios suggest. Launched in 2001, the franchise has produced a large number of films in the two decades that followed, including the spin-off ‘Hobbs & Shaw‘. Though there are a number of stand-alone projects planned, the ‘Fast X’ sequel—which will be the eleventh major film—is the most awaited as fans ready up for what’s in store for the next film.
NBC Universal Studio Group Chairman and Chief Content Officer Donna Langley hinted that the franchise would reduce its stakes following ‘Fast 11′. Speaking during an interview with Variety, Langley hinted that the franchise would move back to Los Angeles to a more “intimate” environment free of global catastrophe risks.
Considering that the ‘Fast X’ follow-up is still being developed and is probably going to be published in the summer of 2026, it doesn’t seem like a decision has been made entirely “Where we go next is a question,” Langley further said during the interview. “We may pivot another time and bring it back to the streets of L.A. and maybe make it a more intimate story.”
