Fast Six was in development by February 2010 as the first film in the series to move away from the underground car-racing theme of the series’ previous films which was considered to have placed a barrier on audience numbers.
Pre-production begun in April 2011, and principal photography began in Shepperton and Bovingdon in July 2012. Filming locations also include the Canary Islands and Glasgow, Scotland. The film is scheduled for release on May 24, 2013.
