Vin Diesel's Fast and Furious franchise, having grossed over $7 billion worldwide since its 2001 debut, has become the top-performing film series on streaming, with three of its instalments currently sitting on HBO Max's global top 10 chart. The surge in viewership comes as fans await the franchise's eleventh instalment, Fast Forever, which has faced repeated delays, while NBC has also confirmed multiple spin-off television shows are in development to extend the saga further.

The films currently trending are Fast Five, praised for blending street racing with a heist thriller format; the original The Fast and the Furious; and Fast & Furious 6, credited with shifting the series towards globe-trotting espionage. According to tracking site FlixPatrol, these titles are competing on HBO Max's chart alongside newer releases such as The Mummy, Wicked: For Good and the Accountant franchise, underlining the enduring popularity of the long-running action series even between new cinematic releases.
