The fifth Final Destination film, released in 2011, was originally meant to be the franchise’s grand finale. But, much like the Death in the movies, it didn’t know when to quit. Well, guess what? It didn’t. Shocking, I know.
In December 2024, it was officially announced that another Final Destination film was in the works. In fact, the project has been simmering in development for nearly five years. Honestly, I can’t blame them for wanting to resurrect the franchise. It has achieved cult status, with people still referencing the movies whenever something ominous happens. After all, it’s the film series that taught us to never, ever drive behind a truck carrying logs:
So, here we are. New Line Cinema is bringing Final Destination back — but it’s not called Final Destination 6. Nope, it’s Final Destination: Bloodlines, which sounds even more ominous.
