Fast & Furious 9, an action film directed by Justin Lin, arrives on Prime Video on August 1, 2026. The ninth main installment in the saga brings back Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris and Nathalie Emmanuel. John Cena joins the franchise as Jakob Toretto, Dominic’s brother.
In Fast & Furious 9, Dominic Toretto leads a quiet life with Letty and their son, Brian. That tranquility ends when his crew is reassembled to thwart an international plot involving technology capable of upending the global balance. Dom then discovers that the man behind the scheme is Jakob Toretto, his younger brother who has become a formidable assassin and a skilled pilot.
The film revisits the Toretto family’s history and the events that drove a wedge between the two brothers. That rivalry lets the saga explore a new facet of its central theme, turning family into both a source of solidarity and a battleground. The return of Han Lue, played by Sung Kang, also ties this ninth installment to the earlier films and to Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift.
With this film, the franchise continues its evolution toward big‑scale action cinema. Chases, magnetic vehicles, global showdowns and a leap into space push the series even further away from its origins in clandestine street racing. Justin Lin, who directed the third, fourth, fifth and sixth installments, steps back into the director’s chair after two entries helmed by James Wan and F. Gary Gray.
Prime Video is also adding several other films from the saga on August 1, 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 et Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw. This staggered release lets viewers revisit a large portion of the franchise in sequence, from the first film up to the Dom vs. Jakob showdown.
Fast & Furious 9 will appeal to viewers seeking a spectacular action film, over-the-top stunts, and the reunion with the core members of the “Fast Family.” It’s less for those who prefer the early films’ grittier urban and automotive universe, as this ninth installment fully embraces the saga’s transformation into an international espionage blockbuster.
