Screenwriters Christina Hodson and Oren Uziel have been chosen by Universal Pictures to pen the next installment in the Fast & Furious franchise, which is set to follow the release of Fast X. Deadline was first to report.
The studio has long planned for the franchise finale to be a two-part story, and with Fast X slated for release on May 19, the next chapter is now in development.
Hodson is known for her work on big IP projects such as Bumblebee, Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey, and the upcoming The Flash. Uziel's credits include the Netflix film Shimmer Lake and the Paramount and Bad Robot project The Cloverfield Paradox. Another upcoming project from Uziel is the Amazon Spider-Man Noir series he is showrunning.

Louis Leterrier, who directed Fast X and impressed Universal executives with his work, has also been confirmed to return for the next installment, which is being described as a «companion» to Fast X.
