The Chronological Guide to Fast and Furious

By Nova: Feb 11,2025

This guide helps you navigate the Fast & Furious franchise, a sprawling saga spanning over two decades and nearly $2 billion at the global box office. With twelve films (nine mainline, one spinoff, and two shorts), the narrative can be tricky to follow. This guide presents two viewing orders: chronological and release date. The animated series, Fast & Furious: Spy Racers, is excluded due to its minimal impact on the main storyline.
