After 13 years of hiding from death (and from us), the long-awaited Final Destination 6—now officially dubbed Final Destination: Bloodlines—is finally on its way to theaters.
And yes, it’s slated for a 2025 release, which means you’ll get to watch characters narrowly dodge their fate (or not) in glorious IMAX.
Perfect for those who enjoy their anxiety in high definition. So, what’s different this time around?
Let’s just say death has a longer memory than we thought—and it’s coming for the entire family tree.
Before you start avoiding every roller coaster, tanning bed, and plane in existence, here’s a rundown of everything we know about Final Destination: Bloodlines so far.
A Bloodline Curse: Death’s Grudge Just Got Personal
This isn’t just another round of surviving disaster, folks. Bloodlines introduces us to Stefani, who discovers that the nightmares she’s been having about a tower collapse aren’t just dreams—they’re actual premonitions linked to her grandmother’s escape from a similar accident decades ago.
Death, as it seems, isn’t done with her family, and Stefani’s entire bloodline is now the target.
Craig Perry, the producer of the original series, hinted at how this installment will expand on the franchise’s universe and add new layers to its mythology.
“[The film] dives into it in such a unique way… there’s an expansion of the world of Final Destination that I think fans are gonna be really interested in and intrigued by,” Perry said.
First Responders Face Off Against Fate
In a unique twist, Final Destination: Bloodlines focuses on first responders—EMTs, firefighters, and police officers.
These professionals are used to saving lives, but in this twisted game, their skills won’t be enough to help them dodge their impending doom.
Director Zach Lipovsky and co-director Adam B. Stein even staged a Zoom death scene to nab the directing gig, decapitating themselves (digitally, of course) to win over the producers.
As if that wasn’t enough to raise the stakes, Tony Todd will reprise his iconic role as William Bludworth, the cryptic mortician who knows more about death than anyone else.
The Tower Collapse Premonition: What We Know So Far
Every Final Destination movie starts with a terrifying disaster, and Bloodlines follows suit with a chilling tower collapse.
But it’s not just about surviving the initial accident anymore—Death has been playing the long game, and it’s coming for everyone in Stefani’s family.
This connection to the past gives the story a much deeper, more personal twist.
Behind the Scenes: A Directorial Death Trap
Securing the directors’ chair for Final Destination 6 was no small feat. Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein went to extreme lengths, staging a convincing (and hilarious) death scene during their final pitch to New Line execs.
This kind of passion is exactly what the franchise needs to breathe new life into it.
Meanwhile, Guy Busick and Lori Evans Taylor, known for their work on Ready or Not and the Scream reboot, have penned the script, promising a unique twist that will add new depth to the franchise’s well-loved formula.
When Can You Watch?
Final Destination: Bloodlines is set to hit theatres in 2025, just in time to celebrate the franchise’s 25th anniversary.
And yes, it’s coming to IMAX, so every near-death experience will be even more intense. The new movie promises to keep fans on the edge of their seats—literally.
Final Thoughts: Are You Ready for Another Dance with Death?
With a cursed bloodline, a fresh cast, and some of the most creative death sequences in the series, Final Destination: Bloodlines is shaping up to be a heart-pounding return to the franchise.
Will Stefani find a way to escape Death’s intricate web, or is her fate already sealed? We’ll have to wait until 2025 to find out.
In the meantime, why not imagine your wildest Final Destination premonition theories—who knows, you might just predict what happens next.
