In 2015, the band released an album with Scottish indie rock band Franz Ferdinand, as the supergroup FFS, titled "FFS". In 2017, returning to a rock-group format, Sparks released "Hippopotamus", which entered the UK Albums Chart at no. 7, as did their next album, "A Steady Drip, Drip, Drip", released in 2020, bringing their tally of UK Top 10 albums to four. Sparks are involved in two 2021 movies, their musical "Annette" starring Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard and "The Sparks Brothers", a documentary about their fifty-year career directed by Edgar Wright.
