On Feb 17, 2026, YouTube straight-up ghosted the entire planet 💀. Starting around 4:45 PM PT / 7:45 PM ET, the app + website hit users with black screens, "something went wrong" errors, dead homepage, no recs, no Shorts, nada. Downdetector exploded with 300K–800K+ reports (peak chaos in US, Canada, Brazil, UK, etc.), plus YouTube TV catching strays too.

You can’t be acting crazy in our city. NOLA will humble even A List celebrities. I

This just in: Universal Pictures has officially locked in the title for the final chapter of the Fast & Furious saga

Multiple sources including Vin Diesel’s own Instagram drop featuring him and the late Paul Walker confirm this is the definitive send-off. Diesel went full legacy poet: “No one said the road would be easy… but it’s ours. One that has defined us and become our legacy… And a legacy… lasts forever.” Straight chills. The post is basically a mood.

The movie picks up directly from the Fast X cliffhanger in 2023, where Dom Toretto’s entire family was facing threats on every front. After production chaos, massive budget tea (Fast X barely broke even on a reported $340M+ spend), and repeated delays, Universal is now planting the flag on March '28 as the grand finale... at least for now.

Expect the energy to swing back toward L.A. street roots, real car culture vibes, and per Diesel’s earlier hints

Industry tea: this five-year gap from Fast X is the longest ever in the franchise, showing how blockbusters are recalibrating post-pandemic. But for the ride-or-die stans who’ve been holding it down since 2001, this is the closure we’ve all been waiting for.

Stay tuned for more updates as we track this final lap. Family first... forever. 🏁🖤
