Fans of Death’s design rejoice! We’ve got some major updates on the upcoming Final Destination sequel! Production has officially begun, with a 2025 release in sight. What’s more, the sequel officially now has a title: Final Destination: Bloodlines.
The announcement comes after years of anticipation following the initial reveal of the sixth film in 2019. However, production was hampered by the global pandemic and industry strikes. Now, with cameras rolling, excitement is building for the return of the series’ signature blend of suspense, horror, and elaborate, gruesome death scenes.
A Familiar Formula with a New Chapter:
While specific plot details are under wraps, some details were leaked back in January but went unconfirmed. However, they now seem authentic. Final Destination: Bloodlines is expected to stay true to the franchise’s core formula. We can likely expect a group of seemingly ordinary individuals who experience a premonition of a catastrophic event like a plane crash or a bridge collapse; the possibilities are endless. According to IMDb, the movie follows a group of first responders who escape Death’s grasp but start to be killed by increasingly unlikely and killer mishaps.” But that plot has yet to be confirmed.
Behind the Scenes:
Taking the helm for this new chapter is the directing duo of Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein. The script comes from the minds of Scream’s Guy Busick and Lori Evans Taylor, with Craig Perry serving as a producer alongside Jon Watts, Sheila Hanahan Taylor, and Dianne McGunigle.
A Fitting Anniversary Tribute:
The decision to release Final Destination: Bloodlines in 2025 holds special significance. It coincides with the 25th anniversary of the very first film, which hit theaters in 2000. Starring Devon Sawa, Ali Larter, Kerr Smith, and the iconic guide of Death, Tony Todd, the original Final Destination became a quick cult classic, spawning multiple sequels and solidifying its place in the horror genre.
Final Destination: Bloodlines promises to be a thrilling addition to the franchise, honoring its legacy while offering a new generation of horror fans a fresh perspective.
While you wait for more details to surface, you can find most of the franchise on Amazon Prime.
