According to Bloomberg, Rodriguez is on board to return as character Letty Ortiz with a reported female addition to the writer's team.

That said, there is no indication of the hiring having taken place, only that an agreement for a female writer to join the production had been secured.

We'll of course let you know what we hear about this news, and if / when a female writer is added.

Fast & Furious 9 currently has a release date of May 22nd, 2020.
