The Fast and the Furious<\/b><\/i> (colloquial<\/a>: Fast & Furious<\/b><\/i>) is an American media franchise<\/a> centered on a series of action films<\/a> that is largely concerned with illegal street racing<\/a>, heists<\/a>, and espionage<\/a>. The franchise also includes short films, a television series, live shows, and theme park attractions. It is distributed by Universal Pictures<\/a>. The first film<\/a> was released in 2001, which began the original trilogy of films focused on racing, and culminated in the standalone film The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift<\/a><\/i> (2006). The series then went under a soft reboot with Fast & Furious<\/a><\/i> (2009), which transitioned the series toward heists and espionage, and concluded with The Fate of the Furious<\/a><\/i> (2017). Two final films are planned and are set to be released in 2020, and 2021, respectively. Universal expanded the series to include the spin-off film Hobbs & Shaw<\/a><\/i> (2019), while its subsidiary DreamWorks Animation<\/a> followed this with the animated web television series Fast & Furious: Spy Racers<\/a><\/i>. Soundtrack albums have been released for all the films, as well compilation albums containing existing music heard in the films. Two short films<\/a> that tie into the series have also been released, while a female-centered spin-off is also in development.
