Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw, the spin-off from the Fast & Furious franchise, lands on Prime Video on August 1, 2026. Directed by David Leitch, the film brings together Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham and Idris Elba in a story that fuses action, humor, espionage, and a biological threat.
Since their showdown in Fast & Furious 7, Luke Hobbs, an agent with the U.S. Diplomatic Security Service, and Deckard Shaw, a former member of Britain's special forces, have been locked in a perpetual rivalry. But when a cybernetically enhanced operative played by Idris Elba threatens global security after seizing a biological weapon, these two sworn enemies must join forces.
David Leitch, already the director of John Wick and Deadpool 2, here leans into spectacular action sequences, massive stunts, and a buddy dynamic built on the constant clash between Hobbs and Shaw. The film broadens the Fast & Furious universe toward a spy-thriller and international blockbuster vibe.
The cast also features Vanessa Kirby, Helen Mirren, and Eiza González. Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw rests as much on the punchy physical confrontations as on the combustible chemistry between Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham, with a plot built around a rival duo forced to team up.
Netflix is also adding several more films from the saga on July 3, 2026: Fast and Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift, Fast & Furious 4, Fast & Furious 5, Fast & Furious 6, Fast & Furious 7, Fast & Furious 8 and Fast & Furious 9. This clustered arrival lets viewers revisit a broad stretch of the franchise, from its early, race-focused roots to its most spectacular entries.
Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw may appeal to moviegoers seeking a big-budget action spectacle led by a witty duo, with stunts, car chases and an espionage plot. It’s not aimed at those hoping for an installment centered on Dominic Toretto and his crew, since this spin-off puts Hobbs and Shaw in the spotlight and plays with a more independent, standalone tone.
