Universal has announced that the ninth installment of its smash hit franchise, Fast and Furious 9, is moving back once again from its original Easter weekend 2020 release to Memorial Day weekend on May 22, 2020, according to Variety.
Fast and Furious 9 is set for a May 22, 2020 release with Justin Lin set to return to directing in the franchise, having directed four prior installments including the third through sixth installments.
The ninth installment of the blockbuster franchise has been in development since last May when Daniel Casey was hired to pen the script instead of series mainstay Chris Morgan.
Casey is one of the co-writers behind the upcoming sci-fi thriller Kin, which has been getting positive early attention from audiences following the release of its trailer a few weeks ago.
