There’s no shortage of performers in the next installment of the Fast and Furious franchise. Now, there’s another Oscar winner in the mix. Brie Larson has been added to the cast of Fast and Furious 10 in an undisclosed role.

Larson won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Joy Newsome in Room. Helen Mirren and Charlize Theron are the only other Oscar winners among the Fast Saga cast. But only Theron and Larson are confirmed to appear in the next film. Larson’s other film credits include The Glass Castle, Kong: Skull Island, and Captain Marvel.

Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Sung Kang, and Nathalie Emmanuel will all be back for the penultimate chapter of the franchise. Some of the other returning cast members have yet to be officially confirmed. Justin Lin is returning to direct Fast and Furious 10 and its sequel. But the next movie won’t hit movie theaters until May 19, 2023.

Cyber Monday deals aren't just all about the gadgets -- the biggest shopping event of the year also brings discounts on all kinds of subscriptions, such as streaming services -- and some are still active today! If you're not currently subscribed to Peacock, here's your chance to try it out for a much more affordable rate than usual because Peacock slashed its price by 75% for Cyber Monday. That means you can get one year for just $20 (instead of $80), giving you $60 in savings, or $2 per month instead of $8 for the first six months, for $6 in savings per month. The offer lasts until December 2, but we highly recommend signing up right now because you may forget to do so with everything else that's going on during the shopping event.

Why you should sign up for a Peacock subscription
If you're quitting cable for streaming services, you probably already know all about the more popular choices, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+. However, we think Peacock should be on every family's list of subscriptions. The best shows on Peacock include Yellowstone, starring Kevin Costner as a cattle ranch owner, and comedy-horror-thriller Hysteria! starring Julie Bowen, Anna Camp, and Emjay Anthony; and Based on a True Story -- perfect for true crime fans -- starring Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina. Meanwhile, the best movies on Peacock include The Super Mario Bros. Movie, The Fall Guy, and Last Night in Soho.
